My name is Yoshi (just like in the Mario games) and I am an astrophysicist working on detecting and characterising exoplanets with transit observations from TESS, CHEOPS (and soon PLATO) and radial velocities from ESPRESSO, CARMENES, HARPS/NIRPS and HARPS-N (and soon HARPS3). I am a PhD Student at the University of Warwick focusing on the characterisation of planets around compositionally diverse stars and modelling their interiors. Currently, I am observing with WEAVE on the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma as part of the ING studentship. I completed my M.Sc. at the University of Warwick, during which I focused on known systems in the PLATO field and PLATO’s discovery potential. Previously, I was a Research Assistant in the TESS Group at MIT and a Visiting Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. I completed my undergraduate in Physical Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge in 2022.
