About Me
I am a scientist at PANTER/ Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics working with X-ray Optics for Einstein Probe and Athena. I had two beautiful years doing my postdoc at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian since Nov. 2018. I work as an astronomical instrumentalist. My research interests include high resolution spectroscopy in UV, optical and infrared for searching and characterizing exoplanets and their atmospheres, extreme precise radial velocity measurements and Fabry Perot Interferometers. I developed a new Fabry Perot based instrument for oxygen searches in exoplanet atmospheres, with the G-CLEF team at Harvard.
I received my B.Sc. in Physics and Material Science with a joint program in Geology from Chiang Mai University, Thailand. I obtained my M.Sc. in Astronomy and Space Science at the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute where I took part in the design of the IGRINS mirror mounts. I did my PhD in an astro-engineering program with Prof. Leonardo Vanzi at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Our team work focuses on the design and development of exoplanet hunters such as FIDEOS, TARdYS and PLATOSPEC.
I like cooking, swimming and dancing in my free time. I also enjoy cycling, hiking and camping with my husband if he is around.
