Maria Kapros

Hi all!

I’m Maria and within the Poligon team I teach private lessons for high-school level mathematics (IB and Romanian Baccalaureate).

I also produce popular science articles on practical, beautiful, or inspiring knowledge bites from some of my subjects of interest:

• The intersection between mathematics and natural science;
• Neuroscience and its applications;
• History and philosophy of science

My academic experience so far includes:

• Undergraduate and Masters in Computer Science at University College London, focused on AI and cybersecurity.
• Research Assistant in FinTech, having developed a system prototype for CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
• Recently, I pivoted to mathematics with a focus on both education and research.

I am currently enrolled in a postgraduate program in Advanced Mathematics at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj Napoca.

I’m interested in an academic research career in applied mathematics with a focus on neuroscience. Equally, I want to help improve the mathematics literacy in Romania with educational and research projects.
