Experience Details:

Design – Designing micro-fluidic devices, fixtures and fittings for on-site equipment, and some design of

simple jigs for assembly of micro-fluidic components

Fabrication – Hands-on fabrication including – micro-milling, turning, laser micro-machining and

photolithography. Where jobs were outside the capabilities, outside parties were used with whom a good

working relationship was developed.

Equipment Maintenance – Maintenance of some of the equipment listed below. Mid to low level

maintenance on equipment where possible, liaising with service engineers when required.

Cleanroom Management – Implementing gown up/ gown down procedure, clean room induction,

day to day management/cleaning

My long-term commitment to a team sport in

Teamwork:

addition to university and work group projects has

given me extensive experience of working in a team

environment, including planning, co-operation,

making decisions and problem solving.

As a research engineer I have lead the technical aspects of many projects

Leadership:

I have been involved in, and through my sports I have captained

numerous teams at various stages to some success.

I have a keen interest in sports in general.

Interests:

As a Gaelic footballer I continue to play with my club team, Nobber

GFC (Meath). I have participated in coaching roles at juvenile level

within the club.

During my time in University I was awarded a Sports Scholarship an d

represented DCU in the Sigerson Cup (2004 – 2008), while also playing

for Meath GAA at U21 and Senior level (2005 – 2009).

I also enjoy running, swimming, cycling and as a result triathlon.
