I’ve started interacting with Bora Beran, a post-doc researcher working for Catharine van Ingen, over the last few months and I love it. He’s very energetic, creative, and with great ideas. Have a look at his ontology-driven Hydroseek work (resulting thesis).
He’s just started blogging about his work and prototypes. Definitely worth checking out. He does need to blog more frequently though 😉
