ESR 10
About me
At the moment
Electrochemist based at the University of Edinburgh working as a research fellow. Currently working on long term implantable glucose sensors in Prof. Andy Mount’s research group.
My background
Previously worked at NUI Galway under the supervision of Prof. Dónal Leech where my research was focused on enzymatic glucose oxidising electrodes for biosensing and fuel cell
applications. Prior to this I competed my MSc. in Biomedical Science and my BSc. in Chemistry.
Project Description
Characterisation of second generation glucose sensors using modified microarray and nanoarray devices for implantable glucose sensing applications.
Goal of ITN project
Goal of ESR 10 is to produce a glucose sensor using the nanoband electrodes for switching capabilities.
