M. DANIELA ANGIONE

Daniela graduated in 2007 with a M.Sc. in Chemistry from University of Bari “A. Moro” (Italy) under the supervision of Prof. L. Torsi. In January 2008 she started the Doctoral School in Chemistry on Innovative Materials at the University of Bari “A. Moro” obtaining her PhD degree in 2011 with a dissertation on “Supramolecular Structures for Organic Electronic Devices” under the supervision of Prof. L. Torsi.
Once completed her PhD program she carried out research as a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Manchester (UK) under the supervision of Prof. K. Persaud, and then moved to Trinity College Dublin, where she was the recipient of the Technology Innovation Development Award (TIDA), Enterprise Ireland, and more recently of the Starting Investigator Research Award. She is an Expert Evaluator for the European Commission, Reviewer for Nature Communications, Materials, Sensors, The Royal Society Publishing Group.

M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Sciences TCD and B.A. in Medicinal Chemistry, TCD.
To date Conn has carried out research in the Development of Antimonial Ribonucleotides Reductase Inhibitors as Potential Anti-Leishmanial Agents under the supervision of Dr Darren Griffith, RCSI. More recently having worked in the development and synthesis of Anti-Cancer β-Lactam Prodrugs, and determination of their enantiomeric excess using chiral HPLC, under the supervision of Dr Niamh O’Boyle, Pharmacy, TCD. 
Conn joined the group in September 2020, with a PhD project focused on the development of electroactive bio-functional fibrils for investigating host-pathogen interactions. His work is funded by Science Foundation Ireland

Graeme is a materials scientist with a strong knowledge of semiconductor physics, processing and device fabrication at both lab and industrial technology scales. Having most recently worked on the doping of CVD-grown 2D materials, he has just joined the Electronic Bio-Mimetic Systems Group in March 2021. Previously he was with Nokia Bell Labs working on the R&D of integrated micro-thermoelectric coolers, for next generation photonic integrated circuits. Prior to this Graeme earned his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Coleman in 2015, where he studied the photoelectric properties of solution processed 2D materials for their application in solar energy conversion. As an undergraduate he studied experimental physics at UCD, receiving a 1st Class Honours Degree and the Nevin Medal for top graduate in 2008, followed by working as a process engineer in ion implant with Intel. Graeme joined the group in March 2021, hired on a co-funded AMBER/Analog Devices project.

Amy is a Senior Sophister student for the Nanoscience degree in Trinity College Dublin. She joined the group in February 2021 for her CAPSL research project, focused on design and functionalisation of porous organic electroactive system. Amy is a Laidlaw Scholar and a Women in STEM events coordinator.
