Dr. Jonathan Mackey

Dr. Jonathan Mackey leads a research group investigating Massive Stars and High-Energy Astrophysics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. He uses computer simulations in comparison with observations, to gain understanding of massive stars, their nebulae, and supernova remnants. He develops and maintains a computational fluid dynamics code, PION, and is a member of the H.E.S.S. collaboration. He is actively involved in education and public engagements projects at DIAS Dunsink Observatory.

Dr Stephen Scully BSc(Eng), HDip(Phy), MA(Ed), PhD >> Bio

Dr Scully graduated with a BSc. in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from Trinity University in 1996. Over a 15-year career Dr Scully completed numerous projects in highly regulated pharmaceutical and medical device industries before returning to University in 2010. He completed a Higher Diploma in Physics in 2011 and on the back of his results was awarded 2 scholarships, the John Hume Scholarship and a Doctoral Teaching Fellowship. Accepting the latter, he completed a Ph.D. in Quasi-Optical Design and Analysis of a Bolometric Interferometer for CMB Experiments at Maynooth University in 2015. He continued working as a post-doctoral researcher and in 2017 was offered a lectureship at the Institute of Technology Carlow. He is currently employed as a Lecturer in the department of Aerospace, Mechanical and Electronics Engineering within the School of Engineering at IT Carlow. He is a member of the IT Carlow Engineering Centre of Research and Enterprise (engCORE).
