Azlizan Adhyaqsa Soemitro

Azlizan Adhyaqsa Soemitro is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), affiliated with the Astrophotonics (innoFSPEC) group within the Development of Research Technology section. His work centers on advancing astronomical instrumentation through photonics and spectroscopy applications.

His research spans Astronomical Instrumentation, Astrophotonics, and Spectroscopy, with significant contributions to OH line filter development for ground-based telescopes and MUSE-based 3D spectroscopy of extragalactic targets. This includes pioneering temperature-compensation systems for astronomical filters and detailed studies of stellar populations in nearby galaxies.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on instrumentation innovation for observational astronomy, particularly in developing photonic solutions for OH suppression and applying integral field spectroscopy to characterize planetary nebulae, HII regions, and hot subluminous stars in galaxies like NGC 300.

Dr. Soemitro actively collaborates within AIP's Technical Section (Precision Mechanics Workshop, Mechanical Engineering) and research groups including 3D and Multi Object Spectroscopy, Galaxies and Quasars, and Milky Way and the Local Volume, contributing to instrument development and observational campaigns.
