ASTROSUMMIT-2026

Maria Rah is a research associate at the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, where she leads simulation-based studies on pulsar dynamics and contributes to the development of structured, machine-assisted data pipelines. Her trajectory spans over two decades of scientific engagement, evolving from regional education initiatives to international collaborations across East Asia and the Caucasus. As part of the Silk Road Project under NAOC China and ongoing efforts at BAO Armenia, she has helped shape hybrid mentorship models and transdisciplinary cataloging frameworks. Her work reflects a quiet resilience rooted in her early outreach efforts in Iran, now expressed through ethical leadership and strategic coordination in global astrophysics.
