Current members of my research group at the University of Birmingham

Dimple (postdoctoral researcher) studies gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and kilonovae. She is an expert in using machine learning algorithms to classify GRBs based on their prompt emission in order to learn about their progenitors, and performs multi-wavelength studies of their afterglows.

David O’Neill (postdoctoral researcher) is an expert in transients and big data from surveys. He specialises in supernovae, and has significant software development experience as the maintainer of the GOTO collaboration marshall.

Isabelle Worssam (PhD student) performs theoretical investigations into GRB prompt emission. Using analytical thin shell models, she studies the diversity and key observational signatures expected from GRBs driven by neutron star mergers.

Makenzie Wortley (PhD student) studies the high-energy signatures of GRBs, pulling together data from an array of GRB satellites to perform time-resolved studies of prompt spectra in order to learn about the underlying physics of the bursts.
