Andrew Lobban

After obtaining a first-class degree in physics and music technology at Keele University, UK (2008), I undertook a PhD in astrophysics at the same institution (2013). Following this, I worked as a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Leicester, UK (2012-2016) before returning to Keele University for a second post-doc position. I was then awarded a fellowship by the European Space Agency and worked at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Madrid, Spain (2019-2022) as part of the XMM-Newton team. My research interests are focused on accreting supermassive black holes that power active galactic nuclei (AGN). I am interested in accretion, ultra-fast outflows, and time series analysis. I specialise in high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, broad-band multiwavelength observations, and time series analysis. I conduct the majority of my research using active international observatories such as XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, NuSTAR, NICER, AstroSat, INTEGRAL, Skynet, and HST, and data from archival observatories such as Suzaku, BeppoSAX, RXTE, ROSAT, and ASCA.
