I'm Yoshi, a first year PhD student working on the detection and characterisation of planets around compositionally diverse stars with Thomas Wilson. Previously I did a Master's by research working on TESS and PLATO with Daniel Bayliss and Thomas Wilson.

I did my undergraduate at the University of Cambridge, followed by a summer internship at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. Before starting my MSc, I was a research assistant at MIT working on the LEO-Vetter and new planet candidates around M Dwarfs with Michelle Kunimoto and Exotrojans with Avi Shporer.
