An engineer of architecture and a neuroscientist, Mihaela is an intellectual polymath with both architectural design and project management experience, as well as research experience in brain sciences. Her studies span multiple disciplines—including cognitive science, neuroscience, aesthetics, AI, and architectural engineering—and her current work aims to integrate architecture with cognitive and behavioral sciences to explore the complex and fascinating relationship between humans and their (built) environment. Mihaela is the former Director of Strategy and Development at The Oxford Foundation for Theoretical Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence. Until recently, she was the Convenor at the Martin Centre at the University of Cambridge and a Mentor at Engineers Without Borders. She is a researcher and consultant based in London and is working on her first book. Since 2014, she has delivered her innovative academic program in architecture, the Oxford School of Architecture (OSA), to students during the summer at Oxford University, along with programs in AI, ethics, engineering, psychology, and neuroscience.
