I am a lecturer in Physical Chemistry at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT). I completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin on the photochemistry of cyclic enones under the supervision of Prof John Kelly and Prof Brian McMurry. After post-doctoral work at DCU, I joined DIT in 2004.

I also try to be a historian, and you can read about my book on the history of Enniskerry at this website and a blog on random history things at this website.
