With the What's Next? series we hope to inspire current Media Technology students, show the variety of paths taken after the studies, and bring together alumni and students. Editions of the series are generally organized around a particular theme.

These talks are organised by Media Technology students themselves, and followed by social drinks.

Patrick Heneise received his Media Technology MSc degree in 2011 and is currently CEO of Zentered, a software engineering company. He is a digital nomad and actively fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing in tech communities around the world, having co-founded several initiatives such as the Cyprus Developer Community and BarcelonaJS.

Andrei Nesterov attended Media Technology courses as an international exchange student, in 2019, and is currently pursuing a PhD in the Human-Centered Data Analytics group of CWI. This research group focuses on human-centered, responsible AI in culture and media to ensure inclusive digital systems that promote diversity and combat misinformation. In addition to conducting research in the traditional sense, Andrei is a freelance data journalist, working on projects for NGOs. 

P.S. Mark your calendar: The tentative dates for the next “What’s Next?” installments in the Spring 2024 semester are April 12 and June 14.
