Dr Martin Dyer

简介

I am a research software engineer based in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sheffield. I’m a member of the Astrophysics Research Cluster in MPS, as well as the Research Software Engineering team based in the School of Computer Science.I completed my PhD in astronomy at the University of Sheffield in 2020, supervised by Prof Vik Dhillon. During my PhD I developed the hardware control and scheduling software for the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) prototype telescope on La Palma in the Canary Islands.After completing my PhD I continued working as a postdoc in the astronomy group, continuing my work on GOTO as part of a research project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. I also developed the design for the SAMNet solar-monitoring telescop
