Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Wessel is an advanced computer scientist with over a decade of experience applying AI, semantic technologies, and ontology-driven reasoning to real-world systems, currently working at SRI International. He designed and implemented ontology-based dialogue management for virtual personal assistants and has an extended history building reasoning engines, semantic middleware, and expressive query languages from his Racer Systems co-founder work. His background spans academic research and industry consulting—from EU-funded semantic tech projects to context-aware mobile applications—backed by a Diplom and a Dr. rer. nat. in computer science. Based in Palo Alto, he pairs deep theoretical expertise (Lisp and description-logic roots) with hands-on engineering and embedded-hardware tinkering, and his inventive side is evidenced by multiple hackaday/retrochallenge award wins.
