Tomotsugu Goto is a professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Tokyo. He has been a fellow at the University of Hawaii and the Niels Bohr Institute. In 2006, he was a member of the JAXA team that launched the AKARI infrared space telescope. In 2015, he published his 100th peer-reviewed paper in an international journal. In 2021-2024, he was selected as a top 2% researcher in the world by Stanford University. He is ranked second among astronomers in Taiwan.

Goto uses large telescopes around the world to study the most distant supermassive black holes in the universe, dark energy, and the history of star formation in the universe. Recently, he used NASA's JWST space telescope to shed light on the star formation history of the universe.

Goto is also passionate about teaching. His FutureLearn online course has been subscribed by over 4,000 students worldwide. He has led four Ministry of Education (MOE) teaching projects, which have integrated modern technology into astronomy education through the use of 3D printers, virtual reality goggles, and digital video-based learning, further demonstrating his commitment to enhancing the educational experience for students.

潘國全老師目前是國立清華大學天文所與物理系的副教授，主要從事計算天文物理與相關領域的研究工作，研究方向包括高效能計算、計算流體力學、重力波天文物理、超新星爆炸，以及高能天文物理等。他在美國伊利諾大學香檳分校完成天文學博士學位，同時也修習計算科學與工程的跨領域學程。

在清華大學任教期間，潘老師教授了多門與計算物理及天文相關的課程，包括「計算天文物理」、「恆星天文物理」、「普通物理學」、「計算物理概論」與「計算物理實作」等，涵蓋物理、天文與資訊等領域。他喜歡與學生互動交流，並持續精進教學內容與方法，努力讓課堂更貼近學生需求。此外，他也積極參與物理系的高中培育計畫，協助高中學生更早接觸大學普通物理的學習內容。

在科普方面，潘老師參與重力波聯合觀測 LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA 團隊的科普推廣工作，翻譯相關新聞稿與撰寫科普文章，努力將艱深的科學議題以淺顯易懂的方式介紹給一般大眾，希望能吸引更多人了解與喜愛科學。
