Our Alumni testimonials
SHEILA BECKER
HEAD OF SERVICE NETWORK AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS' SECURITY, ILR
"Two things really stand out to me as being unique to SnT looking back now. First was the small size of the research teams. I really enjoyed working in a team where we all knew each other, as it made for a very warm working environment. Second was the opportunities for international collaboration. Beyond my collaboration with the University of Nancy, I worked closely with a research group at Purdue University in the US. And the environment of SnT itself is so international, it is exciting to be a part of. I’d say SnT was more like a family than a big university."
FREDERIC GARCIA
COMPUTER VISION SCIENTIST, IEE
"SnT encouraged me to expand my horizons and that influences the way I think and work still to this day. The culture of SnT focuses on collaboration both internally and externally, which really supported me to get out and bring my ideas to peers around the world. I traveled frequently to conferences to present my work, and that helped me develop a unique international network."
DOU WEI
SOFTWARE ENGINEER, TALKWALKER
"I spent over four years at SnT, and no matter where I work I will always miss my time there. I was honoured to work alongside inspiring researchers such as Prof. Lionel Briand and Dr. Domenico Bianculli. Problem solving is a big part of my work in industry, and it relies heavily upon the skills I learned at SnT, such as scientific thinking, research, and communication skills, as well as a strong sense of determination and persistence."
THOMAS HARTMANN
CO-FOUNDER & HEAD OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, DATATHINGS
"My time at SnT presented me with the unique opportunity to work with people from around the world, broadening my horizons and helping me to think outside the box. This creative environment was the right place to meet the people with whom I would go on to create SnT spin-off DataThings. Our company exploits the research ideas and technologies that we worked on during our time at the Centre."
