About Ryan

Dr. Ryan Ridden Harper is a Post Doctoral Fellow at University of Canterbury. In the past, he's done some exciting work at Johns Hopkins University, Space Telescope Science Institute, and The Australian National University.

He works on transient objects, supernovae, and other explosive cosmic events and things. To search for these, he develops the Background Survey, which is applicable to Kepler and TESS data to perform the largest high cadence survey for transients.

Ryan often gives talks to schools across Australia and New Zealand, and appears on ABC as an expert speaker on all things astronomy.

Outside of his research, Ryan enjoys teaching and science outreach, photography, bouldering, and hanging out with his dog Dr. Carina.

About Manik

Manik works with energy, infrastructure, and investment companies to help us inch closer towards a net zero future as a strategy consultant.

Manik trained as a computer scientist and an engineer. He also teaches courses in innovation and project management at the Australian National University.

In his free time, and when he’s not injured, you can usually find him running around one of the many trails around Canberra, or fighting carp while rowing in Lake Burley Griffin in the mornings.
