How Students of the Faculty Spend Their Summer

In July 2015, students of the Faculty of Computer Science finished their exams, but not their studies. This summer they will be having internships in leading IT companies, conducting research at HSE research departments and taking part in summer schools. Students of the faculty will also work as lecturers and assistants at some of the events.

Lev Proleev, first-year student of the Bacelor’s Programme in Applied Mathematics and Information Science is taking part in the programme Google STEP Internship. He will do a three-month internship working on a project on data compression in Zurich. Mikhail Dubov, first-year student of the Master’s Programme in Data Science has a placement as a ‘Software Engineering Intern’ in London, and Sofia Sandomirskaya, third-year student of the Bachelor’s Programme in Software Engineering is working in the Google office in Warsaw.

Pavel Belov, Ilona Papava and Roman Alexandrov are doing their Facebook internships in the Silicon Valley. Pavel and Roman will work in the ‘Ads’ department and Ilona will work in the ‘Internet.org’ department for three months.
