About
After a significant time working in Intel as a Process Engineer I joined the Electronic Engineering department in September 2008.
I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching & Learning in 2023, which has added my previous qualifications in Applied Physics (Cert in applied Physics, GMIT, Diploma in Applied Physics GMIT and Degree in Applied physics from UL).
I also have qualifications in Design of Experiments, Six Sigma Yellow belt and a Diploma in Problem Based Learning from Aalborg University.
I was part of a three-member team in the department that introduced the concept of Problem Based Learning as a teaching and assessment methodology that better matches the real-life experience that our students will undertake.
I teach from 1st year to 5th year on our ME integrated master’s program and hold the role of Capstone Project co-ordinator for the past 10 years. As part of my duties, I am the Work Placement Officer, since 2010 and have been the EE department MAP officer since 2010.
As well as having been awarded a number of SPUR scholarships over the past number so years, and this year [2024] been award a Teaching & Learning Fellowship.
