From Okinawa to the Subaru Telescope: Dr. Yuko Kakazu's Journey

A dynamic discussion with Dr. Yuko Kakazu, Astronomer and Outreach Specialist at Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, about her journey growing up in Okinawa, becoming interested in astronomy when she attended the NASA U.S. Space Camp program at age 13, and her amazing scientific career in astronomy and outreach work with OIST.

Dr. Kakazu graduated from Tohoku University in Japan and then obtained her Ph.D. at the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. Since then, she has worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Paris, France (Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris), California (California Institute of Technology), and Chicago (University of Chicago). Her research focuses on metal-poor galaxies and distant galaxies in order to understand galaxy formation and chemical enrichment history.
