New staff members join the school

We welcome Dr Izabela Naydenova and Dr Sarah Tanner who join the teaching staff of the school today.

Prior to joining DIT, Dr Tanner was a post-doctoral research fellow at Dublin City University. Dr Naydenova was a post-doctoral research fellow in the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics, DIT.

We also welcome Prof. John Thompson who joins the School from the University of Maine as visiting Fulbright Scholar. Prof. Thompson will compare physics education research methods in Ireland with those in the U.S. and investigate how teaching strategies based on physics education research results might affect student learning of science at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
