Denny Vrandečić

Denny Vrandecic started his PhD at AIFB a couple of months before I did, and he was among the people to convince me of the usefulness and realisability of (some version of) the Semantic Web. Our main shared academic interest is in semantic wikis, and we developed Semantic MediaWiki together. Later, Denny worked at Wikimedia Germany e.V. as the Project Director of Wikidata.

As of March 2014, Denny is working at Google.
