Background:
Ph.D. awarded by National University of Ireland on 'Synthesis and Structure of derivatives of the octachlorodirhenate dianion'. Postdoctoral research in X-ray diffraction studies and chemical synthesis at the University of Guelph, Canada (1990-1993) and an EU Fellow at the University of Cambridge, UK (1993-1995).
Current research interests: synthesis and structural systematics of benzamides; carbamates and imides; macrocycles and oligomer imides; trezimides and tennimides. Recent papers include halogen bonding studies and the importance of weak interactions in influencing crystal structure formation. International research lectures and presentations/workshops (by invitation) in Brazil, France, Oman and India (2013-2023). Visit to Lanzhou University in May 2024.
Biopharmaceutical, Biotechnology & Health theme coordinator for Research Brazil Ireland under an SFI-funded mobility initiative. Sabbatical leave as a Visiting Professor (2015-2016) at CRM-2, University of Lorraine, Nancy, France. Visiting Professorship award for 2022 at the FST and CRM-2, University of Lorraine, Nancy.
