Projects

My work is focussed on the application of atomic, laser, and quantum techniques to precision measurement. At Strathclyde this falls under a number of different themes; atomic clocks, atom interferometry, atomic magnetometry, space quantum technologies, and scattering in ocean optics.

I studied for a BSc Physics from the University of Limerick before receiving my PhD in 2005 from Durham University. I went on to become a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, from 2005-2007, after which I came to the University of Strathclyde to work in what was then the Photonics Group. I held a five-year Royal Society of Edinburgh Personal Research Fellowship starting in 2009. From 2010-2011 I was a Guest Researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD, funded by an award from Marie Curie. In 2015 I was awarded a Chancellor’s Fellowship at Strathclyde.

Jobs!

PhD and postdoc positions in fundamental and applied research in atomic physics and quantum mechanics become available through the year. Please contact me directly for more information.
