Paul McNamara

Paul is a graduate student of the University of Limerick where he received an honours degree in Applied Physics in 2005. He received his Ph.D. in 2013 from the University of Limerick specialising in Tissue Viability (TiVi) Imaging and full-field Optical Coherence Tomography. Paul’s current work involves collaborative research with  Compact Imaging under the Enterprise Partnership Scheme co-funded by the Irish Research Council. He is also NUIG’s representative to  GoPhoton! which is a European-wide initiative dedicated to raising the awareness of the importance of photonics.
