About the Project: Panoptic Astronomical Networked Observatories for a Public Transiting Exoplanets Survey is a citizen science project which aims to make it easy for anyone to build a low cost, robotic telescope that can be used to detect transiting exoplanets. The PANOPTES community spans the world, from the founding members in Hawaii to designers, builders, and scientists in Europe, Australia, and North and South America. About the Speakers: Olivier is an astronomer at the Subaru Telescope and the University of Arizona. Olivier started astronomy as an avid amateur astronomer at age 10, and enjoys building and using telescopes for amateur astronomy. His professional interest in exoplanets and his taste for amateur astronomy and astrophotography led him and other like-minded amateurs/professional astronomers to start the PANOPTES project. Olivier’s professional website describes his exoplanet instrumentation work: coronagraphy, adaptive optics. Preethi is a postdoctoral scholar at Subaru Telescope. She did her Ph.D. from India, studying the distribution of the interstellar medium in space. She likes using astronomy as a tool to engage school children in interactive sessions and hands-on activities, to help them learn science and in developing a scientific temper. She also enjoys using her crowd-funded telescope to conduct public sky watches and to learn astrophotography.
