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.
