Senior🎓
Top SchoolLydia Makrygianni is an astronomy research fellow at Lancaster University with nine years of experience investigating supermassive black holes, their transients, and large-scale data challenges in astronomy. She completed a PhD in Astronomy at the University of Sheffield and brings a strong quantitative foundation from a diploma and master’s in applied mathematical and physical sciences. Lydia’s postdoctoral work spans international research environments, including a multi-year fellowship at Tel Aviv University, where she developed expertise in transient detection and analysis. She combines observational and data-driven approaches, comfortable working with big datasets and modern analysis pipelines. Colleagues describe her as a researcher who bridges theory and practical data engineering to turn complex astronomical signals into publishable science. Outside standard roles, she has long-standing ties to observational institutions dating back to an early internship at the National Observatory of Athens, reflecting a sustained commitment to hands-on astronomy.
