Alyona Vert.
Editor and Social Media Manager Alyona joined Turing Post in April 2024 and quickly became one of the central people behind it. She has a background in aircraft control systems from Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU), where she researched helicopter models and dynamics. At Turing Post, Alyona brings engineering rigor to AI writing, helping translate technical systems, research papers, and product shifts into clear, structured analysis. She is most inspired by the use of AI in science. She is also a phenomenal dancer, which is probably relevant: good editing, like good dancing, depends on rhythm, precision, and knowing when to move.
