Business development lead for a new photonics fab facility, making laser systems for satellite communications. The fab will be available for pilot production runs for photonics and quantum optics companies across Europe, so get in touch if we can help your with product development process.

Expert reviewer, proposal assessor, and business development advisor for deep-tech development projects at TRL 3-6. Projects cover a range of technology areas including medical devices, nanomaterials, biological engineering, photonics, and more.

I was Director of MaynoothWorks, Maynooth University's combined technology transfer office, industrial research partnership office, and start-up business incubator. My remit was to drive researcher entrepreneurship, to provide our excellent technical graduates with the business savvy to identify unaddressed societal problems, and to develop solutions with their scientific and engineering expertise. By the end of my tenure, MaynoothWorks contributed >25% of the University's total research… Show more I was Director of MaynoothWorks, Maynooth University's combined technology transfer office, industrial research partnership office, and start-up business incubator. My remit was to drive researcher entrepreneurship, to provide our excellent technical graduates with the business savvy to identify unaddressed societal problems, and to develop solutions with their scientific and engineering expertise. By the end of my tenure, MaynoothWorks contributed >25% of the University's total research spend, generated substantial grant funding to support its own operational costs, and developed a rapidly-expanding pipeline of entrepreneurial researchers with strong commercial projects and prospects.

Responsible for liaison with industrial partners for both research project development and postgraduate student training, alongside roles in centre management, instrument development and teaching. The role also featured a major focus on driving ideas generated from research to market, converting students' and more established researchers' ideas into start-ups and technology platforms that addressed needs from industrial processes to point-of-care health applications.

Responsible for both teaching and research, developing a range of technologies with particular focus upon point-of-sampling diagnostics. Targets include the real-time measurement and analysis of water quality, optical and microwave sensors for non-invasive testing and smart, responsive materials for anti-microbial applications.Visiting lecturer at Imperial College, London.

Developing a portable, robust and disposable analytical platform for in-the-field testing, with applications from agrochemicals to point-of-care medicine - delivering the gold standard in laboratory diagnosis to the people who need it the most.

Developing chemical tools for the time-resolved profiling of single cells using optical tools. My team produced a range of novel platform technologies allowing the direct manipulation, transfection and sampling of individual cells of interest from within a culture or tissue, leading to a number of patents above and beyond the publications listed. I was responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of three laboratories and some 40 Ph.D. students and taught postgraduates, coordinating… Show more Developing chemical tools for the time-resolved profiling of single cells using optical tools.
