Ben is a PhD student working with Danny Steeghs on GOTO observing strategies and instrumentation. With a focus on studying fast transients and investigating the use of CMOS sensors for astronomical transient surveys.
Deanne is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick. She uses multi-wavelength observations to study the outflows from astrophysical transients (such as supernovae, fast transients, gamma ray bursts and tidal disruption events) and accreting compact binaries.
Elizabeth Stanway’s research focuses on the host galaxies on transients and on the theoretical modelling of binary systems which support interpretation of extragalactic events, as well as galaxy evolution more general. She is currently one of the GOTO Ombudspersons.
Andrew Levan is a professor at Radboud University Nijmegen and an honorary professor at the University of Warwick. He is broadly interested in the
many ways that stars explosively end their lives.
Klaas is a postdoctoral research fellow at Warwick. He works on transients that are
associated with non-thermal emission, such as gamma-ray bursts and gravitational wave
sources. He uses polarimetry as a tool to understand transient populations better, and
enjoys looking through the GOTO data for new transients.
