Limassol, Cyprus
<p>From a young age I was curious about the world around me and always looked for an explanation into everything I saw. Later on in life I realised that my curiosity and habits for analysing everything was the basis for my career in science. By day I am a social entrepreneur and mum to Alex, by night I spend most of my time researching galaxy evolution and plasma cosmology. In 2010 I set up the Cyprus Science Festival with the aim of bringing innovative science events to the island.</p>
