Ashley Lyons obtained her PhD in 2017 from Heriot-Watt University, where she was supervised by Professor Daniele Faccio. In 2018, she joined the University of Glasgow as a Research Associate in the Extreme Light group, and she became a Lecturer in Physics and Astronomy in 2020. In 2021, she was awarded the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship to develop a new quantum interferometry-inspired approach to fluorescence lifetime imaging. During the same year, she also received the Royal Academy Engineering Research Fellowship, focusing on integrating single photon sensing with machine learning to mimic brain activity. Her extensive research interests include developing new forms of time-of-flight sensing using single photons, combining single photon detectors with artificial neural networks, and exploring quantum imaging techniques that utilize quantum effects to revolutionize imaging and sensing applications.
