Cormac McGuinness

Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Trinity College Dublin.

Research:

My research involves the application of synchrotron based soft x-ray spectroscopic techniques to the investigation of the electronic structure of materials.
Complete details of my research interests can be found on my research page. Also listed on this page are details of two projects for which I am currently seeking students. You can also find a complete listing of the scientific publications that I have helped to contribute to the literature.

Teaching:

I am currently the Course Director for Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials - a direct entry degree course jointly taught by the Schools of Physics and Chemistry.
I am currently lecturing the following courses: (local links may be accessible in TCD only)

PY4P02: High Energy Physics.
PY2P30: Physics for Earth Sciences - a physics module for SF Earth Sciences students
