Andreea is an AI researcher and community builder originally from Cluj, Romania, now based in Amsterdam. After moving to the Netherlands four years ago, she completed her bachelor’s and is currently pursuing a master’s in Artificial Intelligence at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her passion for AI began after winning a global AI hackathon, which inspired her to organize five international hackathons and to found TeensInAI Romania — a national initiative that introduces teenagers to AI through hackathons, mentoring, and workshops.
Andreea’s research focuses on hybrid intelligence: building cognitive agents that collaborate with humans and modeling behavior inspired by animal groups. She has also explored LLM-based labeling for unstructured data and conversational systems using the Google Dialogflow API.
Alongside her studies, Andreea has served as a teaching assistant and course coordinator, worked in corporate operations for nearly two years, and developed an ontology, as a research assistant, now used in a master’s course on hybrid intelligence research methods.
