Anastasia Kokori

Anastasia is now a PhD candidate at UCL, London, with a Research Excellence Scholarship. She has studied and got certified in a wide range of subjects: Primary education, Science communication, Journalism, Space studies, Planetary science, Astronomy, Yoga teaching, Perfume making. She also enjoys scuba diving (ADIP 3 star diver), singing, and any type of sports.
Anastasia has worked in several observatories among which are the historical Royal Observatory Greenwich in London, UK, and also in the Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, Ireland.
During the previous years, Anastasia has been traveling a lot, meeting with several diverse communities. One of her main challenges is always to make things as easy to understand as possible and bridge the gap between science and society, between the natural and the theoretical studies. Overall, she tries to bring together communities from different backgrounds, so that everyone can see that all things are based on the same roots. By connecting small dots from different fields together, Anastasia strongly believes that humanity can gain a better understanding of itself.
