Timea began her teaching journey during high school, when she taught at camps, preparing students for the math and informatics olympiads. Her passion was driven by her desire to share her own experience and knowledge. In fact, each year of high school, she was able to reach the national round of the Olympiad in Informatics, and as for the Math Olympiad, her achievements extended even beyond her country’s borders. She represented Slovakia at the Middle European Math Olympiad and twice at the European Girls’ Math Olympiad, where she was awarded an Honourable Mention and a Silver Medal. Her adoration for teaching has never left her, and throughout the years, she taught hundreds of lessons not only in math but also in informatics and physics. Timea’s audience has varied significantly, ranging from primary to high schoolers, and the topics included preparation for exams, exploration of the pure joy of problem-solving, and many more.

Timea completed her undergraduate studies in Nuclear and Particle Physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague, which accelerated her career by enabling her to conduct research at CERN, the world’s largest accelerator laboratory, located on the border of Switzerland and France. She spent months there developing and testing silicon particle detectors. For her work and vision, she was awarded the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which supports her current master’s studies in Interdisciplinary Physics at the University of Padua in Italy.
