Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Chote is an Assistant Professor and observational astronomer with 16 years of experience building precision instruments and leading time-series astronomy programs. Based at the University of Warwick, he has led development of a robotic 1m telescope on La Palma and created high-speed CCD photometers used to study pulsating white dwarfs and other fast astrophysical phenomena. His background combines hands-on hardware and firmware design (open-source microcontroller-based timing units), custom control and analysis software, and expertise in asteroseismology and precision photometry. Paul’s earlier work spans X‑ray dosimetry system R&D and semi-analytical microlensing modelling, reflecting a strong blend of experimental, computational and analytical skills. He is comfortable moving between field instrumentation, observatory operations, and data-driven stellar physics, and has a track record of translating niche technical innovations into broadly reusable tools. Based in the Greater Coventry area, he brings academic rigor from a PhD in Physics together with practical system-building experience that often goes beyond standard astronomer skill sets.
