“I was so grateful to have the opportunity to do an in person internship with CoNSeRT for the summer of 2022. During my internship, I worked on developing a chatbot utilizing the Nvidia Riva Speech SDK. Everyone at CoNSeRT is incredibly brilliant and welcoming. I loved not only learning about machine learning and chatbot training, but also being able to immerse myself in the culture that everyone was so eager to share about as well. They truly wanted my experience to be the best, and through their patience, enthusiasm, and dedication, CoNSeRT was definitely successful at making my time there absolutely incredible.”
“I was fortunate enough to become part of the CoNSeRT family as an intern during the summer of 2021. During my two month internship I worked on a project that uses data to detect movement patterns on wearable devices. Even though this experience was online, the team I worked with went out of their way to teach me about Greek history and culture, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you to the CoNSeRT team for making this the best experience possible and for being so welcoming.”
“I ‘m please to have collaborated with CoNSeRT team consisting of so many talented, intelligent and innovative engineers. We have crossed paths around 2015 during my academic years and we continuously working together through my professional career on multiple projects on IoT, Home Automation, Software defined Networking and Security. The can-do attitude, out of the box thinking and team spirit is what makes CoNSeRT unique. I’m sure there are so much more to come! Keep it up!”
“I was lucky to participate in the CoNSeRT research team twice. I first joined as an Erasmus Intern in 2014. During my 3-months practice period, I worked on a home automation project, where I developed an application to control home devices remotely. It was a great experience for me to test my app on Z-Wave devices and put the project into practice. My second visit was during my Master’s studies in 2016. We had collaborated on a project about information dissemination and privacy issues on social networks and published a research article. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a diverse and experienced group at CoNSeRT, with colleagues coming from different backgrounds of expertise. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you and found the experience interesting and rewarding; thank you for being my family in Athens!”
“It all started with a phrase like this: “Let’s see how good you can swim in the open ocean!” Back in 2012 and for a period of 4 years I had the chance to complete as a member of the CoNSeRT team a variety of projects such as ICN implementation on NS-3, Home automation using ZNode, Kinnect Integration, eHealth-IoT Social Network platform and Treasure Hunter Game platform. I gain valuable experience in designing and implementing applications in .NET framework for cutting-edge innovative projects. If I had to choose the best skill that I got through the interaction with CoNSeRT team, this would be the sharpen of my “out of the box thinking” because our moto is that everything can happen! I am thankful for my time in the team and I would say: The best is yet to come!”
“I had the pleasure to closely collaborate with the CoNSeRT team from my early academic days as a student, and throughout my professional career. We have collaborated on several research projects on network security and applications for the Internet of Things. CoNSeRT has attracted not only great engineers but people with diverse skills, deeply focused on the research of “out of the box” ideas. I always loved the raw energy the CoNSeRT team brought to our meetings and the grand scope of their proposals. It is a contagious way of thinking that always left you inspired to do your best work.”
I was lucky enough to become a part of the CoNSeRT team as a summer intern in 2023. Over my 2 month internship, I researched MQTT networks and implemented one to create a vitals monitoring app on a pair of augmented reality glasses. Throughout my stay in Athens, the experienced CoNSeRT team fueled my learning by both guiding me in the laboratory and immersing me in the culture of Greece. Through their efforts, I had a summer experience I will never forget. Thanks to the CoNSeRT team for making my time there phenomenal!
In the summer of 2023, I had the wonderful opportunity to be an intern at CoNSeRT labs. Over the course of two months, I was fully immersed in the development of applications specifically designed for the Vuzix Blade smart glasses. A significant aspect of my internship involved gaining hands-on experience in working with and training machine learning models for object detection. The CoNSeRT team were welcoming and informative in regards to both our lab projects and sharing Greek culture and history, making my time in Athens an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone.
