Daria is a cognitive psychologist (Maastricht University) who does research in Human Factors in the aviation domain and designs systems with human capabilities and limitations and mind. In her free time she supports the Fund's projects.


"Even though as a psychologist I specialise in human-centered design of complex sociotechnical systems, I have always felt connected to the issues of psychological culture in the society and people's emotional wellbeing. Therefore, I regard any activity directed at raising awareness regarding the significance of taking care of psycho-emotional health as profoundly important. And it concerns everyone: future mothers, their partners and general public too."

Dariia is fluent in Russian and English. The countries that she lived in over the years gave her varying degrees of proficiency in French, Dutch and Czech. She is an amateur linguist.
