About Me

I live near Phoenix Park in Dublin and a nature-lover, fond of cycling/walking along the royal canal. My research is on making sustainable nanofilters and plastics for separating useful substances from waste. I have an interest in communicating science to common people.

What I'd do with the prize money

I would like to invest in good quality camera, microphones and handy tripods that would help us in shooting educational videos and some fascinating experiments done in our research laboratory. I have also been planning to remodel our 3D printer so we could print some activity models using sustainable bioplastics.
