    Biography

    Denise Rooney was awarded her BSc (hons) in Chemistry in 1987 from Queen's University Belfast. She obtained her PhD on the Resonance Raman Spectroscopy of Fischer Carbene Complexes in 1991 under the supervision of Prof John McGarvey at QUB. She then carried out post doctoral research at the University of York with Prof Robin Perutz.  She took up a position as a lecturer in Maynooth University in 1994. Her research has centred on Metal Complexes and Materials Chemistry.
