Biography

August 2005 to present; Lecturer, School of Chemical Sciences, DCU. Feb. 2004 to July 2005; Postdoc. with Dr Andre Simpson, Dept. of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto. July 2002- Feb. 2004; Postdoctoral Researcher with Prof. William Kingery, Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, Mississippi State University. Feb. 2001-July 2002; Project Manager for an EPA (Ireland) funded research project 1997-2001: PhD. Dr Tom O'Dwyer, University of Limerick. 

Carbon is essential for life and has many forms in nature. It cycles between air, water, soil, sediments and rocks and it is important to understand these processes if we are to use carbon wisely and predict change. Much of our work involves the investigation of carbon in chemical and biological forms and how it changes when going from one medium to the next. We study carbon in soil, water and coastal sediments. We also use our technical approaches to investigate subjects such as past environments on Earth, the search for extra-terrestrial life and recycling of waste.

We study these subjects by combining advanced spectrometric, metagenomic and stable isotope analysis in collaboration with colleagues in many areas of specialisation including microbiologists, mathematicians and physicists.
