B.Sc. (Hons) in Applied Physics from Dublin City University (1989)

Worked in the Semiconductor Physics/Optronics Ireland laboratory in Dublin City University with Prof. M.O. Henry (1989 - 1994) and obtained Ph.D. in 1994 with a thesis entitled "A Photoluminescence Study of a Beryllium Related Defect in Silicon". This work was carried out in collaboration with University of Aveiro in Portugal.

Postdoctoral research at DCU (1994 - 1995) centred on the nature of Er related defect centres in GaAs in conjunction with research groups in Bonn, Lille, Lisbon, and Surrey. A second area of research was in the use of implanted radioactive ions in semiconductors to aid the identification of defect constituents, this work was in conjunction with the ISOLDE facility at CERN.

Appointed to permanent staff of DIT in January 1996, and Assistant Head of School in June 2001.

Current research interests at TU Dublin are in the development of optical and electrical characterisation techniques for defects in semiconductor and novel materials. Research grants have been secured from both Forbairt and DIT currently fund this research.
