Research Week 2025

What a busy Research Week for DISCO!

🧬 Last week we were delighted to host Dr Florent Becker from Université d’Orléans on a research visit to our TAPDANCE lab group. Dr Becker took part in our weekly lab group presentations, and also gave a Hamilton Institute seminar “Strict Self-Assembly of Discrete Fractals in the Abstract Tile Assembly Model”

For Maynooth University Research #ResearchWeek2025 we had a busy schedule throughout the week!

🌐💡The whole DISCO team took part in the Faculty of Science and Engineering “Research Connections” event in the south campus science museum. Hosted by our Dean Prof. Paul Moynagh and Associate Dean for Research Rob Elmes it provided a forum for faculty members and research students to present their research to colleagues from other departments, fostering awareness of potential areas for collaboration.
