NobleReach’s internship program spans an intensive 8-week summer session, where participants receive a robust professional development curriculum and dive into real-world hands-on learning experiences. They can fully immerse themselves in public service initiatives while creating valuable professional connections. This year, the program consists of three students eager to contribute to NobleReach’s mission.
Sydney Du
Sydney is a rising sophomore at MIT majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Statistics & Data Science. She is currently working as an Artificial Intelligence Intern at NobleReach.
Additionally, she is a research assistant at MIT App Inventor, a group focused on promoting STEM education. There, she works on the development team and experiments with composing music with AI.
Beyond her technical work, Sydney is especially interested in AI alignment and policy. Through this internship, she’s working to help NobleReach build AI tools to improve efficiency and expand opportunities for emerging talent. She is most excited to learn about various applications of technology in public service.
Mark Wang
Mark is a rising junior at Vanderbilt University studying economics and management. Having been born and raised on the Pacific Island of Guam, he’s interested in exploring the intersections of climate tech and the airline industry to make travel more sustainable.
Previously, he worked as a corporate development intern for an energy services company in Houston. On campus, he chairs the Vanderbilt Green Fund where he is responsible for the annual deployment of $150K to finance projects that reduce the university’s carbon footprint. He also volunteers as a tour guide for the admissions office.
As a Market Research and Analytics intern at NobleReach this summer, Mark is excited to explore nascent industries and learn what it takes to commercialize emerging technologies.
Philip Clark
Philip is a Business Analytics Intern at NobleReach and a graduate student at the University of Florida, where he is pursuing an M.S. in Information Systems and Operations Management with a concentration in Data Science.
With a background in computer science, Philip has developed AI tools for automation, data analysis, and decision support in past internships and projects. This summer, he’s helping design AI-powered workflows to streamline internal processes and support NobleReach’s innovation initiatives.
He’s most excited to learn how AI can be used to surface meaningful insights from public data, support storytelling around innovation, and help the Business Analytics team scale its impact more effectively.
