Konstantinos Ioannis Kostas
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioKonstantinos is a political scientist and organizational researcher working on institutional norms and the global governance of AI. In his postdoctoral research, he is interested in how normative ideas from a specific context are adapted and received in global governance, and how these ideas change over time and across space in organizational fields and contexts, both through concepts and data. Among Konstantinos’ research focuses are institutional theory, international rankings and policy indices, conceptual history, algorithmic governance, and paradigmatic shifts of human-centricity.
In 2026, Konstantinos received a PhD in Politics and Organizations (Political Science) from the University of Helsinki, with a dissertation titled "Human-centricity as a Policy Concept: Paradigmatic Modifications of an Institutional Norm from Automation to AI". Konstantinos holds a master’s degree in political science, including a specialization in public administration and organizational research, and has completed studies in international relations (Sciences Po, Paris) and business technology (Aalto University). He is also a member of the Ideas and Institutions (IDIS) research group at the University of Helsinki. -
Izabela Kowalczyk
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr. Izabela Kowalczyk is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Sarah Bowling, Department of Developmental Biology. She is studying embryonic development, with a focus on heart valve formation and the influence of the maternal environment on this process. Dr. Kowalczyk completed her Ph.D. at the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, under the supervision of Dr. Annette Hammes, where she investigated cell and tissue morphogenesis during early forebrain development. Her work identified novel components of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling and primary cilia biology, providing new insights into the variable penetrance of holoprosencephaly in mouse models.
