Professor Mike Lyons is a graduate of UCC (B.Sc 1979, Chemistry & Mathematical Physics ; PhD 1983, Physical Electrochemistry). Following postdoctoral work at Imperial College London he was appointed Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at TCD in 1984. He was elected to TCD Fellowship in 1992. He is currently Professor in Physical Chemistry and Head of School of Chemistry TCD. His research interests encompass Physical & Analytical Electrochemistry and the application of the latter to Raw Materials. Professor Lyons heads the SFI TEECE Group in the School of Chemistry & CRANN which examines nanostructured electrode materials for hydrogen production, electrochemical energy conversion , charge storage , electrocatalysis and electrochemical sensing. He has been in receipt of significant SFI Principal Investigator, TIDA, EI , Industrial, and EIT KIC funding in recent years. He currently is Lead TCD PI with a remit to develop TCD raw materials activity and engagement with the EIT-Raw Materials KIC.

Professor Lyons’s current work in AMBER is founded on his extensive experience in Physical/Analytical Electrochemistry and includes contribution of electrochemical characterization methodologies to the analysis of 2D nanostructured materials deposited on porous conductive 3D support structures (either foam or 3D printed) for supercapacitor and electrocatalytic applications.

PhD, PostDocs in Biomaterial Scaffold Development

2 Postdoc and 2 PhD positions are available with Dr Cathal Kearney in RCSI arising from his ERC Horizon 2020 Starter Grant funded in the area of biomaterial scaffold development for diabetic foot ulcers. There are several parallel arms to the project that will look at aspects of scaffold design, on-demand drug delivery, nucleic acid delivery and induced pluripotent stem cells.
