She is currently a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and a visiting student at the University of Crete and IA-FORTH during the fall semester of 2025-2026 under the GAPSTI program. 

Career

During her undergraduate studies, she worked on modeling nonlinear phase transitions in the Early Dark Energy field. For her PhD, she is workin on characterising the effect of tensor fluctuations on CMB spectra and bispectra for a wide range of nonlinear inflationary scenarios. In Crete, she is exploring the statistics of cosmic structure formation with applications on turnaround-scale cosmology. She is a recipient of an Isaac Newton studentship at Cambridge, and was awarded both a Barry Goldwater scholarship and a Clare Boothe Luce scholarship during her undergraduate career, for her work in numerical cosmology.
