Senior🎓
Top SchoolIoana Zelko is a CITA Fellow and astrophysics researcher at the University of Toronto, working at the boundary between theory and data to illuminate the universe’s formation history, from galaxy composition to dark matter. She leverages computational techniques and a growing interest in AI and machine learning to extract cosmological information from observations. Her path spans MIT (BS in Physics, 2014) and Harvard (MA 2014, PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics 2021), followed by a postdoctoral stint at UCLA and a current position at CITA. Notably, she contributed to instrument development for MIT's Epoch of Reionization experiment (MITEoR), designing and implementing a real-time data-processing system for a 64-antenna interferometer. Based in Old Toronto, Ioana is a proactive science communicator and outreach advocate, serving on the USA Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition Foundation board and driving public outreach and talks.
