Dr. Murphy has been an active researcher in the field of scanning probe microscopy and nanomaterials for over 20 years, with over 60 publications in international peer-reviewed journals. He specialises in the development and application of novel scanning probe methods. His current research is in the application of scanning probe energy loss spectroscopy (SPELS), a technique that exploits electron field emission in an STM for imaging and spectroscopy, to mapping the plasmon modes in metal nanostructures suitable for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This work is being performed in collaboration with colleagues in the School of Physics & Clinical & Optometric Sciences at TU Dublin city campus. Dr. Murphy obtained an honours degree (BA mod.) in Materials Science from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) in 1996, before receiving a PhD. from the School of Physics there in the field of scanning tunnelling microscopy in 2001. This was followed by postdoctoral positions, including two Marie-Curie fellowships, in TCD, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Birmingham, UK. He joined TU Dublin Tallaght campus as a lecturer in Physics in 2017 and established a STM laboratory in the Centre of Applied Science for Health (CASH).
