Joseph Lyman is an Associate Professor in the Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick, holding a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. His research focuses primarily on the observation and characterization of astrophysical transients, such as supernovae and explosive transients, which are crucial for understanding stellar evolution and the chemical enrichment of galaxies. Lyman investigates the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, engaging in follow-up observations of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events, notably the GW170817/AT 2017gfo event. His collaboration on the GOTO project involves developing software for the rapid identification of new celestial objects. Lyman teaches the module PX458: Distant Universe, and is involved in educational resource development for students. His work encompasses a wide range of studies on the properties and behaviors of supernovae and related phenomena, utilizing advanced astronomical technologies including the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories to explore the universe's most energetic events.
