Biography
I was employed as a Lecturer in Maynooth University’s Department of Psychology in 2005 following postgraduate and postdoctoral study in Trinity College Dublin. In Maynooth, I established Ireland’s first high-density EEG laboratory, with research interests in memory, spatial representation, psychosis, stroke, and decision-making. To date I have published 22 research articles and one book, and am Associate Editor for Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. I have received over €1,000,000 in research funding, and am currently involved in collaborations between Maynooth University and the Stroke Unit of Tallaght Hospital in Dublin, as well as the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dún Laoghaire. I served on the Neuroscience Ireland committee from 2005-2014, as Vice-President 2010-2012 and President 2012-2014, and was the founding President of the Irish Brain Council in 2013. I have been a staunch supporter of neuroscience advocacy, outreach and engagement with the public for the past number of years.
