Lilianne Nakazono is a technologist and astrophysics PhD candidate with nine years of experience applying statistics and computational methods to large-sky survey data. Trained in both astronomy and statistics at the University of São Paulo, she specializes in designing algorithms to identify new celestial objects and optimize star–quasar classification for projects like JPAS. She has blended research and teaching roles—ranging from undergraduate TA positions to a postdoctoral appointment—before joining Observatório Nacional in Rio de Janeiro. Lilianne combines rigorous statistical grounding with practical data-engineering skills, enabling reproducible pipelines for high-volume astronomical datasets. Colleagues describe her work as both methodical and creative, often finding subtle data-driven solutions that reveal faint or rare objects in noisy surveys. She brings a rare dual perspective as a scientist and technologist, comfortable moving between theoretical modeling and production-ready implementations.
