Current physics undergraduate student in Trinity College Dublin, with aspirations for post-graduate studies.
I have worked on projects ranging from understanding noble ion implantation, to developing optical nano-structures, and functionalisation of 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides.
My other interests include long-distance running and cycling.

Final year Nanoscience student at Trinity College Dublin with experience in academic research, public relations, event planning, and education.
Worked as Auditor of the College Historical Society, a metallurgist in DePuySynthes J&J Orthopaedics, and an undergraduate researcher in batteries/energy storage.
My research interest revolves around the cingulum bundle, it’s relation to depression and potential to emerge as a biomarker for disease progression
Currently studying Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. I have a broad interest in the medical sciences and specific interests in metabolism, lifestyle medicine, and emerging therapeutics for diseases of modern civilisation.
I am an English and Drama student in Trinity College Dublin with special interest in Shakespeare studies and performance.
I am a third-year TSM student in Trinity College Dublin for History and Philosophy. My research project aims to establish a multitiered argument against the use of Future Dangerousness in American criminal court, especially in capital cases. I outline the concept of Future Dangerousness, its uses, and how its fundamental inconsistencies facilitate miscarriages of justice than continue into today.
Currently studying History at Undergraduate level at Trinity College Dublin. Outside of college, I spend my time with music and ballet, catching up on reading ‘old classics’, some amateur photography, and trying to gain a little bit of an understanding of biology and medicine.
For the duration of this programme, my research aims to prove a connection between environmental “end time” scenarios and their instrumentalization for the development of social movements. Through a historical perspective, I first want to identify patterns and then in a second step relate them back to universal reasons that make people susceptible to “political agitation”. Finally, I plan to develop recommendations for political education that help promote critical thinking in the context of political and social movements.
I am an alumni of the undergraduate research and leadership programme (2020). I've got a degree in Zoology from Trinity College, Dublin and I'm currently studying for a Master of Public Administration (Urban Policy) at UCL.
My research project aimed to determine the most abundant plant species in Dublin City and analyse their functional traits to make inferences about these species' suitability for use as nature-based solutions, which is a newly proposed concept for simultaneously regreening cities through the use of nature to combat socio-environmental and climate-related problems.
Currently I'm working alongside other Laidlaw Scholars to develop a community kindergarten and evacuation centre in Dreketi Settlement, Fiji. We're always looking for ways to collaborate with other scholars and groups on this project so if you're interested – let's chat!
I'm passionate about the development of new technology.
I am a past member of Éirloop, Ireland’s hyperloop team.
I've made and tested Martian concrete which I developed using NASA’s Martian soil simulant, Magnesium compounds and water.
I am currently studying Physical Sciences in Trinity and last summer started my first 3D printing startup as part of Patch - a startup accelerator run out of Dog Patch Labs. This summer I plan to use 3D printing and Nanoparticle Inks to improve solar cell design, however, at the moment I'm printing face shields for health care workers.
I’m a 4th-year Theoretical Physics student at Trinity College Dublin. For my research project, I will analyse data from the Zwicky Transient Factory to establish a relation between supernova explosions and their host galaxies and determine a subsample of Type Ia Supernovae that will help us constrain the origin of dark energy.
