About

Micheál D. Scanlon is a physical and analytical chemist who specialises in electrochemistry. Currently he is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Sciences and Principal Investigator in the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick (UL) in Ireland. Dr Scanlon is a current recipient of an European Research Council (ERC) Starting grant (2016). Previously, through a Science Foundation Ireland Starting Investigator Research Grant (SFI SIRG, 2014), he began his independent research career in the Chemistry Department at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland. Dr Scanlon was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Hubert H. Girault at École Polytechnique de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and Prof. Edmond Magner at the University of Limerick (UL) in Ireland. He completed his PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Damien W.M. Arrigan at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork and has a BSc. in Chemistry from UCC. His work involves using electrified liquid-liquid interfaces for novel approaches to (nano)materials self-assembly and electrosynthesis, energy conversion and storage, catalysis of energy related reactions, electroanalysis and bioelectrochemistry.
