PhD Student

2023 - Present

I am a physics PhD student at Trinity College Dublin studying nanophotonics. My PhD title is "Next generation 3D printed photonic structures" and involves the use of a non-linear optical process known as two photon polymerization. My PhD project is a collaboration between researchers at Trinity College Dublin, Imperial College London and Tyndall National Institute. The project is funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) as part of the AMBER Research Centre and is a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) studentship.
