The intern in question is Matthew Tancik, who is one of the primary driving forces behind Neural Radiance Fields. It is one of those cases, where the employer (Waymo) is lucky to have such an intern.

I can't comment on the second part of the message, because I don't know what I am allowed to say (I work for Google, but not Waymo).

As a PhD student alongside Matt, it’s not any intern. Ph.D. internships are much more scoped to specific lines of work and are a way to potentially fund promising researchers for the long term.

In fact, Berkeley AI Research has a built-in way for companies to fund BAIR research and to bring on BAIR Ph.D. students as interns: https://bcommons.berkeley.edu/home
