Short Bio.
Elisa Fadda obtained her PhD in 2004 from the Department of Chemistry at the Université de Montréal under the supervision of Prof. Dennis R. Salahub. From May 2004 to May 2008, EF worked as a post-doctoral fellow in Dr Régis Pomès group in Molecular Structure and Function at the Hospital for Sick Children (Sickkids) Research Institute in Toronto. From June 2008 until May 2013 EF worked as a research associate and honorary research lecturer in Prof Robert J. Woods group in the School of Chemistry at NUI Galway. In 2013 EF was awarded a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CELT) at NUI Galway. Since August 2013 EF has been working first as an Assistant Lecturer (2013-2014) and then as a Lecturer (2014-present) in the Department of Chemistry at Maynooth University.
