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.

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!

Mike Hinchey
About Me:
I’m a software engineer, who has worked in the space industry (for NASA) and in universities in Ireland, USA, Australia and Sweden. Everyone assumes I love science fiction, which I don’t – except Red Dwarf, but that’s more comedy than sci-fi. One of my former students co-wrote the highest earning song of all time. Can you figure out what it is?

Arman Azizi
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.
