Daniel Rotaru

Daniel is passionate about autonomous systems and their possible applications in environmental sustainability.

After winning first place as Cyprus Super Champion in the FIRST LEGO League, Daniel developed his skills in embedded systems and programming by iterating and improving micromouse robots. He later applied these to the Mobilised Atmospheric Surveying and Sensing Unit (MASSU), which he presented at national science fairs. Recognising a gap in robotics education at his school, he co-founded and continues to lead its first student-run robotics club, mentoring students to victory in the 2024 Robotex Cyprus maze-solving competition.

Beyond academics, Daniel enjoys go-karting, debating, and spending time with his dog.
