New TRiSS Director
The Dean, Carmel O'Sullivan, is delighted to announce that Professor Raj Chari from the Dept of Political Science, has been appointed as the new Director of TRiSS (Trinity Research in Social Sciences).
Prof. Chari brings a wealth of experience and a distinguished record of research in the Social Sciences.
Starting as Director from September, Raj will work closely with the Dean and member Schools to guide the Centre’s strategic vision, securing external partnerships and funding, fostering high-quality interdisciplinary collaborative partnerships, ensuring enhanced external engagement and supporting the growth of a vibrant research community.
The Dean would also like to extend her gratitude and that of the entire Faculty to Prof. Ronan Lyons, who has led the centre over the past five years, with vision, determination, and a deep commitment to excellence. Whether mentoring early-career researchers, supporting the organisation of ambitious events, or encouraging colleagues to foster strong partnerships, Prof. Lyons, along with TRiSS EO Chris Lysaght, has built not just a centre, but a community.
"We wish Ronan all the best in his future career."
