Professor Thayne Currie’s research focuses on detecting and characterizing extrasolar planets by direct imaging, primarily with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics project (SCExAO) at the Subaru Telescope on Maunakea, Hawaii. In parallel, he is interested in high-contrast (direct) imaging technology development and new instruments well suited for imaging exoplanets and studying planet formation.
