Science worth
watching.

@katya.ivshina Speaking & outreach →

Educated at Princeton (B.A. Mathematics, with honors) and Harvard (M.S. Applied Mathematics), Katya works at the frontier of research — publishing across machine learning, topology, neuroscience, and astrophysics, where she co-discovered an exoplanet. She has researched at Harvard, MIT, and Apple, presented at international forums from Stockholm to London, and holds an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Katya has built a platform of over 100,000 followers and more than 30 million views, becoming a trusted voice for young adults pursuing STEM careers. As a first-generation immigrant and a woman, she speaks candidly about ambition, access, and the courage to build a life on one's own terms — and has carried that message to audiences in London, New York, and beyond.

A mathematician who turned a decade of scientific training into online education filled with fun, style, and story.

Brand partnerships

I partner with brands who want to reach ambitious people who care about ideas — scientists, builders, tech enthusiasts, and creatives. I turn technical depth into something people actually want to watch. Clarity, honesty, and accessibility are at the core of what I do.

my motivation

I started following you 9+ years after finishing my time at Princeton, and you have inspired me as much (if not more than) my entire four years of college.
