Victoria McTigue Fennell
About Me:
My name is Victoria. I’m from Clare but currently live in Cork for my research. I recently completed my undergraduate degree in pharmaceutical chemistry. I enjoy set-dancing, piano and going to the gym. I enjoyed chemistry in college and really liked my placement in a pharmaceutical company for the summer so I decided that I would like to become a researcher. I now live with my friends in Cork very near to UCC. Over the years I went to Science and chemistry balls at UCC which I really enjoyed.

Swati Mukherjee
About Me:
I’m a PhD researcher studying how to create tiny materials that are invisible to the naked eye but can change the way surfaces behave. By using special techniques, I grow these materials one layer at a time to develop cool structures that can send information using laser light. This work is at the cutting edge of science, combining light and electronics to revolutionize communication technology!

Kynan Delaney
About Me:
I’m a biologist who has spent the last few years studying how insects change with age in the wild and in captivity. I am very interested in ecology and behaviour, and I enjoy making gadgets and coding, so I have made my own tools to measure how beetles’ behaviours and physical abilities change with age, and to track individuals over weeks or months in their natural habitat.

About Me:
I am a researcher in the field of Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Mathematics.
I’m really into math because it’s like a big puzzle waiting to be solved. Math isn’t just about numbers and formulas; it’s actually a way of understanding the world around us. Think about how we use math for everything from building skyscrapers to figuring out how fast a car is moving or even understanding the patterns in nature! For me, solving math problems is like going on a little adventure. You start with a question, use a bit of creativity, and then, with some logic, you find the answer.
