Professional Tour Guide

Erica M.

Hi, I'm Erica Meszaros, and I earned my PhD in the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity from Brown University in 2025. My research centers on Babylonian astronomy and knowledge circulation in the ancient world, using algorithms to interpret these fascinating cultures. I've interned at four NASA centers, fueling my passion for space. I read Akkadian, Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin and love exploring ancient "pre-scientific" mathematics and science. Sharing these insights is my greatest joy!
