He received both his BA in Physics and his PhD from Trinity College Dublin.
The theme of his research is the production and processing of nano-materials in liquids. The main focus is liquid exfoliation of layered crystals such as graphite and inorganic layered compounds. This produces liquid suspensions of 2-dimensional materials such as graphene, BN, MoS2 or MoO3. Such liquid processing allows the production of coatings, thin films and composites. These structures are useful in a range of applications in areas such as: reinforced composites, transparent conductors, sensors, optoelectronic devices and electrodes for batteries, solar cells, supercapacitors etc. He has also performed research on other nano-materials such as carbon nanotubes and metallic nanowires.
He was named the 2011 Science Foundation Ireland 'Researcher of the Year' and was awarded the Kroll Medal from the Institute of Materials in 2012. In 2011, he was named among the top 100 Materials Scientists of the previous decade by Thompson Reuters.
