Sharing Talent Across the Pond

The growth and impact of New York City’s tech and information sector is immense – New York City has become a digital city. From tech start-ups to well-established tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Amazon, and major information companies such as Bloomberg L.P. and the New York Times Company – it seems that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Cornell Tech has even established a model for graduate education that fuses technology with business making creative thinking an important part of New York City’s entrepreneurial tech and information ecosystem.

Grabbing hold of the brass ring, ETH Zurich launched an ETH Studios program in New York that offers students the opportunity to work in innovative environments and corporate contexts to address the challenges of the digital era. The first ETH Studios focused on data science, information security, and privacy creating strong synergies between research groups and students at ETH Zurich, on one side, and universities and industry in New York on the other side.

In the past 2 years, 17 ETH Zurich students have spent time in the ETH Studio New York program working with big name companies to solve some of the greatest challenges in everything from machine learning to cybersecurity. Here are just a few of their stories…

I really feel like I have gained some valuable insight into what it is like to be a data scientist from a general perspective including: administering infrastructure and holding project presentations to developing a data science application that will be a user interface.

The experience with zkipster (New York) enabled me to understand the role of expert knowledge in solving a machine learning problem ... I definitely believe that the NYC trip provided me with a valuable opportunity to learn more about working in a “real” industry environment.

I took a short break from my thesis to work as a supervisor for a project with the Swiss company, Noser Young Professionals. ... We worked with different start-up companies in the Flatiron area of Manhattan. Locals call Flatiron the “Silicon Alley” because of the high density of tech companies operating in this area. I … helped identify programming solutions and gave design advice. ... I (also) got to know the American system – a system that works much faster, but also in a less organized way than the Swiss one.
– Leonie Hodel at Noser Young
