Dr Ailbe Ó Manacháin (Scott Monaghan) is a senior member of IEEE and a senior staff scientist, fellow, lecturer and lead PI at UCC. He received a first-class honours BSc degree in mathematics and physics part-time from the Open University in Ireland in 2000 while working full-time within the industrial sector. He also received the Masters of Engineering Science degree in 2002 part-time while working full-time within the research and development industrial sector, and the Ph.D. degree in 2007 (full-time) in the area of materials science, both from the University of Ireland, Cork, Ireland. He specialises in the scientific engineering and application of semiconducting materials such as III-V and transition-metal dichalcogenides (2D materials), as well as transparent conductive oxides, for the benefit of nanoelectronics, multifunctional materials systems, 3D integration and renewable energy harvesting. Expertise encompasses Hall-effect analysis and device/cell/system electrical, photoelectrical and photoelectrochemical characterisation.
