Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry
Dara Fitzpatrick has recently joined the UCC Analytical Chemistry Team from Dublin. Dara was one of the first diploma graduates to emerge from the Institute of Technology, Tallaght with a distinction followed by an honours degree from the Institute of Technology, Athlone. He then pursued a Ph.D. and postdoctoral research in Trinity College Dublin under the supervision of Prof. John Corish and he also obtained a H.Dip in statistics during this time.
