Lea Nizri

I am a driven and well-rounded independent student with a deep passion for science, astronomy, physics, math and education. For the last 19 years I have lived in many countries around the world (France, England, Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam…), enabling me to develop a great capacity for communication and adaptation.

My ability to work in multicultural environments and lead international teams has been honed through various projects and speaking engagements globally, in academic and educational environments.

Including designing and delivering a science education outreach course for middle and high school students, through my role as Science Advisor at the YouthTopia NGO, presenting live a Climate Change course at the United Nations’s COP26 conference, and enhancing STEM education at a University level as a member of the Open University’s Curriculum Design Student Panel.

My journey in the fields of astronomy and physics has been marked by contributions to international projects such as the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024 and the ExoClock Project. My technical expertise includes remotely operating scientific equipment like radio telescopes and Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometers. I’ve also conducted investigations using data from NASA’s Curiosity rover and analyzed chemical compositions of planetary atmospheres.
