: Ar gael fel goruchwyliwr ôl-raddedig

Rwy'n astroffisegydd arsylwadol sy'n gweithio ar ffrwydradau cosmig, o'r enw supernovae, sy'n nodweddu marwolaeth seren. Mae fy ymchwil gyfredol yn canolbwyntio ar y ffrwydradau supernovae mwyaf disglair, y cyfeirir atynt fel arfer fel "supernovae supernovae", a'u defnydd fel chwiliedydd shifft uchel. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd yn rôl rhyngweithio a siociau ar transients seryddol, yn ogystal â'r rhai sy'n cyrraedd eu golau mwyaf ac yn pylu yn fuan wedyn mewn ychydig wythnosau, y cyfeirir atynt fel arfer fel transients Cyflym neu Gyflym, Glas , transients optegol (FBOTs). Rwyf hefyd yn gweithio ar weithredu technegau dysgu peiriannau ar gyfer seryddiaeth dros dro i ddosbarthu a chategoreiddio gwahanol fathau o uwchnofâu a throsglwyddyddion eithafol.

Rwyf wedi ennill Gwobr MERAC 2021 fel yr Ymchwilydd Gyrfa Gynnar Gorau mewn Astroffiseg Arsylwadol am ymchwilio i eithafion ffrwydradau serol, gan ddarparu cyfraniad arloesol i'w dealltwriaeth a'u rôl mewn seryddiaeth ac astroffiseg.

Fy rolau gweinyddol yw'r canlynol:

Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar uwchnofâu eithafol a dilyniant cymheiriaid electromagnetig tonnau disgyrchiant. Fi yw'r Prif Ymchwilydd (PI) a chyfarwyddwr Arolwg estyniad diweddaraf yr Arolwg Spectrosgopig ESO Cyhoeddus ar gyfer Gwrthrychau Dros Dro a mwy (ePESSTO +, ~ 540 o nosweithiau a ddyfarnwyd gan ESO), yn ogystal ag un o wyth arweinydd yr arolwg gwreiddiol (PESSTO) a'i estyniad cyntaf (ePESSTO). Roeddwn hefyd yn PI gwyddoniaeth o'r grwpiau 'Superluminous supernova' a 'Fast transients' yn y cydweithio ePESSTO. Rwy'n un o'r LSST:UK PIs a'r LSST:UK Point of Contact (POC) ar gyfer seryddiaeth dros dro. yn ogystal â rhan o Fwrdd Gweithredol LSST:UK.

Fi yw gwyddonydd offeryn FORS2 yng nghronsortiwm ENGRAVE , cydweithrediad Ewropeaidd sy'n targedu cymheiriaid electromagnetig tonnau disgyrchol. Rwy'n aelod o Grŵp LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), LSST dros dro ac amrywiol sêr ( TVS), yn ogystal â Chonsortiwm Euclid sy'n arwain y wyddoniaeth supernova eithafol (gweler yma Strategaeth Maes Dwfn Euclid - https://bit.ly/2Gce3B3). Rwyf hefyd yn aelod o gonsortiwm LIGO.

Ar hyn o bryd fi yw trefnydd y modiwl (MO) ar gyfer y Prosiect Ffiseg 4edd flwyddyn (PX3350).
Rwyf wedi bod yn drefnydd y modiwl (MO) am y 3edd flwyddyn (BSc, MPhys) a'r cwrs MSc High-Energy Astrophysics (PX3245/PXT214) rhwng 2019/2020 a 2023/2024.
