Ray McCarthy (2008-present):Ray is working on chemometric based methods of analysis. He is part supervised with Dr. Donal Leech. |
|
Michelle Hennigan (2008-2012):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. Michelle has now moved to Merck in the UK to take up a research scientist position she is due to submit later in 2012.

Bridget Kissane (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).
She is now working as a research assistant in the NBL on a variety of industrially funded research 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 2012/13, David Flanagan is the final year
chemistry students based in the NBL. He will be researching how to study sterilization effects on complex cell culture media using EEM fluorescence spectroscopy.
In 2011/12, Michelle Kyne and Aisling Logan were the two final year chemistry students based in the NBL. Both worked on the characterization of complex cell culture media.
Alumni:
