Aoife is a PhD student with the NanoDTC (2018 cohort) working on actuating microstuctures, which are composed of CNT scaffolds functionalised with PNIPAM (a thermoresponsive polymer). The aim is to create light- and temperature-responsive microstructures for applications such as smart surfaces with switchable emissivity. Her primary supervisor is Prof Jeremy Baumberg of the NanoPhotonics Centre and she is co-supervised by Dr Michael De Volder.
Aoife completed her bachelor's degree in Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
