Our Team

Andrii Zahorodnii

Co-Founder

Before coming to MIT, I studied at the Ukrainian Physics and Mathematics Lyceum, and then at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In high school, I was into physics and mathematics olympiads. Now I’m a junior at MIT, and I’m working on my research in neuroscience and AI. Outside of academics, I organize TEDxMIT, compete on MIT’s Sport Pistol team, and work on various projects for Ukraine.
