Nanoscale Biophotonics Research Group
Details of the current members (as of 17/01/2012) of the group are given below.
Postdoctoral researchers:
Dr. Boyan Li, Chemometrics and analytical method development, (2006-present).
Dr. Cheryl Morris, Bioanalytical method development, (2012-present).
Details of the projects and contact details are on the postdoc page here.
Current Graduate students:
|
|
Muhammad Isalm (2011-present):Muhammad has just joined the laboratory to begin a PhD which will focus on the analysis of polymers using fluorescence spectroscopy.
|
|
Amandine Calvet (Summer. 2009-present):Amandine is working on chemometric based methods of analysis of complex mixtures.She started her PhD in Oct. and is working in the area of multi-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and SERS for the analysis of complex aqueous based mixtures.
|
|
|
Ray McCarthy (Sept. 2008-present):Ray is working on chemometric based methods of analysis. He is part supervised with Dr. Donal Leech. |
|
|
Michelle Hennigan (Sept. 2008-present):Michelle will be working on the comprehensive analysis of polymorphs using spectroscopic techniques. She is a 2008 graduate of NUIG chemistry. Her project is funded under the Solid State Pharmaceutical Characterization Cluster ( www.ul.ie/sspc) an SFI funded Strategic Research Cluster. |
 |
Domhnall O'Shaughnessy (summer 2007-present):Domhnall is studying the use of Metal Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF) for the study of protein interactions with surfaces and the interaction of proteins with nanoparticles using FCS. He is a 2007 graduate of NUIG chemistry.
|
 |
Bridget Kissane (Sept. 2006-present):Bridget is working on the development of novel analytical methods
for the analysis of Bio-pharmaceutical processes as part of the CBAS
project.
Her work involves the use of multi-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, SERS, and chemometrics.
Bridget is a graduate of LIT (B.Sc. chemistry, 2006).

SUMMER students:
In 2011 Rebecca Pigot and Michelle Kyne were based in the lab as part of the MolRec UREKA programme.In 2009 the following students were based in the NBL for short term summer projects:
Loretta Breslin, M.Sc. student: Studying protein adsorption on surfaces using confocal microscopy.
Neil Murphy, M.Sc. student: Studying protein adsorption on surfaces using spectroscopy.
Valerie Murphy, 4th year student: Using fluorescence methods to study amino acids in complex mixtures (CBAS project).
Edel Houton, UREKA student, funded under the
MolRec programme.
Nadine McClaeary, 3rd year student: Fluorescence analysis of complex mixtures (CBAS project).
Cesar Maule, visiting PhD student from Oporto: Fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy of quantum dots.
Angela Chang, IAESTE trainee from Berkley: SERS analysis of complex mixtures (CBAS project).
Undergraduate students:
In 2011/12, Michelle Kyne and Aisling Logan are the two final year chemistry students based in the NBL. Both are working on the characterization of complex cell culture media.
In 2010/11 there were two undergraduate researchers (4th year chemistry) based in the NBL: Ronan Fitzpatrick: Development of MEF substrates. Jonathon Donaghue: Spectroscopic analysis of polymer thin films.
