"I am Salah El-Din Amer Makki, a 19-year-old researcher and science communicator from Baghdad, Iraq. As the founder of the Andromeda Team and Director of Global Programs at AstroLab, I have dedicated my youth to bridging cultures through science and education. My journey—ranging from winning national accolades in the NASA Space Apps Challenge to publishing research on exoplanets—is driven by a deep curiosity about how we decode the universe. As an ILC Ambassador, I aim to apply this same curiosity to linguistics, demonstrating how language, like science, is a fundamental structure that connects us all. I am eager to inspire my peers in the Middle East to explore the intersections of logic, language, and discovery."
