Dr Moletlanyi Tshipa
Team Member, NAEC team - Botswana
University of Botswana
Moletlanyi Tshipa earned both his MSc and PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Botswana in 2008 and 2018 respectively. He served as a teaching assistant from 2004-2005, and as a demonstrator from 2005-2009, in the University of Botswana. He then continued to serve as a lecturer from 2009 to 2022, and as a senior lecturer from 2022 to the present, in the same university. A theoretical physicist, his research interests include Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, String theory, M-theory, Quantum Computing, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Finance, Quantum Biology, Cosmology and Special and General Relativity. Some of his contributions are his Photonology theory (which suggests that physical matter consists of light) and his Semi-relativistic quantum mechanical wave equation. He is a reviewer for a number of journals including Expert Opinion on Astronomy and Astrophysics, Characterization and Application of Nanomaterials and Physical Science & Biophysics Journal (PSBJ). He has also been a member of the Astronomical Society of Botswana from its inception.

Dr Ceren Ulusoy
Team Member, NAEC team - Botswana
BIUST
Dr Ulusoy received her B.Sc degree in the Department of Astronomy and Space Sciences at Ege University in Izmir, Turkey, where she also completed her M.Sc and Ph.D degrees in 2004 and 2008, respectively. She was awarded a three year innovation Postdoctoral Fellowship by the National Research Foundation (NRF) in South Africa to work in the Department of Physics at the University of Johannesburg, where she focused on follow-up photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Kepler satellite targets as well as their asteroseismological modelling. During this time she also worked as a visiting scientist in Canary Islands and Poland. After completing her first postdoc, she was awarded a one year NRF of South Africa Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of South Africa (UNISA) where she worked on the detection of various HERSCHEL satellite lensed-galaxy candidates. Dr. Ulusoy worked as Director in School of Aviation at Girne American University of Cyprus between the years 2014-2019. Currently She is a Senior Researcher and Senior Lecturer at BIUST.
Dr Ulusoy’s research interests are Astronomy, Physics, Astrophysics: Asteroseismology, Spectroscopy, Space- based and Ground-based observations, Photometric and Spectroscopic Data Reduction and analysis, Mode Identification, Stellar Evolution, Radio Astronomy and Aerospace.
