Andrea Horváthová
I studied new media design at Design Academy Eindhoven where I worked on many research-heavy design projects. At university, I examined topics related to machine learning and Big Data which is why I decided to apply for an internship at KInIT. During the internship I started working on a self-initiated project and brought myself closer to the research topic. After I graduated, I decided to accept the offer to work at the institute full-time as a Communication Specialist and Visual Designer.

I am a second level student at FIIT STU. I am interested in Artificial Intelligence, because I am able to use my creativity in the field and implement unique ideas. At the same time, I am helping to achieve new milestones towards the world’s automation. My primary fields of interest are computer vision and NLP, as well as their explainability.
I decided to join KInIT because the institute has the same priorities and goals as I do. It is also full of young talented people and experienced researchers that ensure high quality and expertise.

I am currently studying at Gymnázium Jura Hronca. In the future I would like to focus my studies on data science. I learned about KInIT when my high school has been offered a guided tour of KInIT in 2022. I decided to apply for an internship not only because I’m interested in AI but also because I believe that KInIT would provide me with a unique opportunity to both hone my programming skills as well as learn new concepts, I would have not come across otherwise.

Martin Melišek
As a computer science student at FIIT STU, I had my first opportunity to meet the lecturers who worked at the faculty before becoming a part of KInIT. Even back then, I was attracted by their dedication, expertise and their ability to pass their knowledge to students. After a few years of studying, I decided to start my professional career. I approached KInIT as there was a suitable open position for a student interested in working on an international project. I was particularly interested in researching diverse areas such as battling misinformation using artificial intelligence.

Timo Hromádka
I studied Computer Science at King’s College London. During my bachelor’s thesis I investigated fake news detection. It was crazy to me how computers can learn to understand text, and not just numbers; there’s something fascinating about that. I decided to apply to KInIT because of their variety of interesting projects. Having gotten an initial glance at what it was like to conduct research at university, I wanted to experience it at a more rigorous level, and start making an impact on the world, quite literally.

Adrián Gavorník
I have studied an interdisciplinary social sciences programme at Maastricht University. Over time, my interest has narrowed down to studying the relationships between technology and society and the effects of various narratives on science and technologies, particularly disruptive technologies such as AI. I currently continue this endeavor studying at the University of Vienna. I believe that social sciences expertise is a necessary and valuable part of ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in a manner that benefits everyone.
