Following my LIA summer working with the Timothy Smith Network. My vlog summarises my experience and what I learned during the summer.
Again, I would like to thank the Laidlaw Foundation, all the St Andrews Laidlaw and TSN staff for this fantastic opportunity. In addition, I would like to thank all the scholars I got to work with in Boston and share and capture so many unforgettable memories, as you will see in this video.
Hello Everyone!
My name is Supakorn, but I normally go by Nikko, I am a third-year undergraduate Astrophysics Student at the University of St Andrews. My research this summer is to produce a catalogue of active galactic nuclei for a future space telescope mission to help further our understanding of the origin of our Universe.
As a student from Thailand, I have worked with the National Astronomical Research Institution of Thailand during most of my breaks since the summer of 2018. I find the observational and computational side of Astrophysics to be the most fascinating, and I intend to specialise in either Extragalactic or Stellar Evolution in the radio wavelength in the future. I am trained for both AZ and Equatorial mounts for manual refractor and reflector telescopes, as well as basic landscape astrophotography. I am currently the president of the University of St Andrews Astronomical Society.
Apart from being at the observatory, I enjoy a good walk/hike and spending time outside. I don't play the piano as much as I should, but I do enjoy participating in musical activities, ceilidh included. I also do magic which seems to surprise most people (Not the conjuring kind).

What a wonderful project! "Being a leader is more than a role, it is a lifestyle." Your reflection on leadership, balance, and attitude in this video was beautifully put. Thank you for sharing your experience.
