Rhaana is an Associate Professor at the University of Leicester, researching astrophysical transients. She combines observations from space and from the ground to understand the physics behind gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events and unidentified transients, as well as studying supermassive black holes in active galaxies.

Lisa is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth. Her research interests include transient objects, particularly kilonovae, and citizen science. She is also interested in cosmology with Type Ia Supernovae, with a focus on correlations with host galaxy environments.
