Personal Information
 

I was brought up in Co. Wexford, Ireland and came to Cornell in 2005 after my BSc degree in Dublin. My research interests are varied but are centred around the kinetics and organic chemistry of enzyme mechanism. As an undergraduate in Dublin I carried out research in computational inorganic chemistry and also the synthesis of glucuronamide derivatives with potential antiviral activity.

In my free time, amongst other things, I am a keen golfer (at least in the summertime - Irish weather may not be spectacular but at least there is year-round golf!), and also enjoy cooking and eating good food.
