L'Esprit Sorcier
In the summer of 2023 I participated in the filming of a short programme intended for the \textit{L’Esprit Sorcier} science communication programme. The segment filmed presented a step-by-step process for preparing and studying microbial fuel cell systems and is designed to inspire children and young adults to take an interest in a career in science. The programme was released on French television and online in February 2024 and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/MfGH3_HogLU?t=4333

Chargé de Recherche/Assistant Professor CNRS
I am a Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) based at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. My research focuses on the areas of nanomaterial electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and interfacial science for energy applications. I previously worked as a Marie Curie fellow (Université de Rennes) and postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) in the School of Chemistry, University College Dublin and as a postdoc and lecturer in Trinity College Dublin where I completed my PhD in physical chemistry with a focus on electrochemical and spectroscopic characterisation of nitrogenated carbon materials. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at Trinity in 2014, when I graduated at the top of my class.
