Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCosimo Inserra is an astrophysicist-turned-CEO and research leader with 11 years’ experience applying machine learning and data science to large-scale astronomical surveys and institutional strategy. As founder and CEO of Sustainable Inclusive Futures and a Reader at Cardiff University, he blends technical rigor with organisational leadership, having delivered research projects ahead of schedule and led teams of up to 20 across international collaborations. He plays a visible role shaping research policy and equity as College Dean of Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity and a member of the REF2029 People and Diversity Advisory Panel. His technical pedigree includes pioneering ML-based supernova classification methods adopted in major surveys and published in peer-reviewed outlets. Comfortable moving between hands-on algorithm development and high-level strategy, he is equally at home writing code, securing funding, or advising on national research assessment. A detail that sets him apart: he turned a research project into a published algorithm a year early, demonstrating a rare combination of scientific creativity and delivery focus.
