Biography

I am a Romanian-British researcher in Astrophysics and Machine Learning at the Australian National University and one of the founders of UniverseTBD, an AI research lab with a mission to democratize Science using Foundation and Frontier Models. I care deeply about education and leveraging high-quality learning resources and mentorship opportunities for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Guided by my experience, I want to encourage them to pursue excellence in service to the world around them.
