Biography
Niamh holds a B.Sc in Physics with Medical Physics, M.Sc in research (Experimental Physics) and PhD in optical design from the University of Galway. Her PhD focused on the area of novel lens design for commercial imaging, which was funded through the SFI strategic partnership and was partially funded by FotoNation, Parkmore, Galway. Following her graduation, she took up the position of lead optical engineer at Mbryonics. During her time working in theNew Space industry, she designed and developed the baseline products for the ESA funded freeform optical payload with supporting optical metrology, and optical ground station support equipment (OGSE).Niamh joined the Physics academic staff in the School of Natural Sciences in September 2023. Her research is carried out with the a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:optics.nuigalway.ieApplied Optics Group and the a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:www.universityofgalway.ieastroCentre for Astronomy .She currently serves as an Assistant Editor for a target=_blank rel=nofollow href=https:opg.optica.orgaohome.cfmApplied Optics in the areas of optical design and optical metrology.
