Former Group Members
Postdoctoral Researchers

Dr Angelika Holzinger

German

Angelika's research was funded through Professor Scanlon's ERC Starting Grant (SOFT-PHOTOCONVERSION; Grant agreement ID: 716792) and an Irish Research Council (IRC) Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in 2020 (grant no. GOIPD/2020/821).

Angelika's research focused on the use of electrosynthesis at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces to develop metallic nanoparticle/conducting polymer nanocomposites for sensor applications.

Angelika is highly skilled in materials characterisation via FIB/SEM, AFM, SECM, and TEM.

Dr Bren Mark B. Felisilda

Filipino

Bren's research was funded through a PD2PI Fellowship funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program under a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions agreement (MSCA-COFUND #847413) and based at the Institute of Physical Chemistry – Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland) working with Dr. hab. Martin Jönsson-Niedziółka.

As his co-mentor, Bren worked with Professor Scanlon's group at the University of Limerick to explore the electrosynthesis of conducting polymers at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces via the Fenton reaction.

Dr Alonso Gamero-Quijano

Peruvian

Alonso's research was funded through Professor Scanlon's ERC Starting Grant (SOFT-PHOTOCONVERSION; Grant agreement ID: 716792) and an Irish Research Council (IRC) Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in 2018 (grant no. GOIPD/2018/252).

Alonso's research interests are multi-faceted with several projects carried out related to fundamental electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electrochemistry at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces, conducting polymers and bioelectrochemistry.

Dr Bharathi Konkena

Indian

Bharathi's research was funded through Professor Scanlon's ERC Starting Grant (SOFT-PHOTOCONVERSION; Grant agreement ID: 716792).

Bharathi's research involved the self-assembly of iron and cobalt oxide nanosheets at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces for use in anodes of high performance Li- and Na-ion batteries. Bharathi also self-assembled MOFs at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces for sensor applications.

Dr William Cheuquepan

Chilean / Spanish

William's postdoctoral research was funded through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (CO2PhotoElcat; Grant agreement ID: 101031622).

William's research primarily involved the electrosynthesis of metallic nanoparticle/conducting polymer nanocomposite thin films at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces for various applications (electrocatalysis, SERS, antimicrobial effects, etc.).
