Pillai obtained his PhD from Trinity College Dublin and then conducted his postdoctoral research at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA. Upon completion of this appointment he returned to Trinity College Dublin in April 2004 as a Research Fellow before joining CREST-DIT as a Senior Scientist. He joined IT Sligo in 2013 as a senior lecturer in nanotechnology and currently heads the Nanotechnology and Bio-Engineering Research Group. He is an elected fellow of the UK’s Royal Microscopical Society (FRMS) and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM). Prof. Pillai also completed an executive MBA from Dublin City University in 2009. He was responsible for acquiring more than €5 million direct R&D funding. He was awarded the 2019 ‘Boyle-Higgins’ award by the Institute of Chemistry Ireland and received the ‘Industrial Technologies Award 2011’ for licensing functional coatings to Irish companies. He was also the recipient of the ‘Hothouse Commercialisation Award 2009’ from the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation and the ‘Enterprise Ireland Research Commercialization Award 2009’. He is an editor for the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research (ESPR, Springer) and an Editororial Board Member for the Chemical Engineering Journal and Applied Catalysis B (Elsevier). Yvonne Lang obtained her PhD from the National University of Ireland, Galway in 2014. Her doctoral research investigated the use of diatoms to fabricate polymeric structures with a defined geometry. Work emanating from this research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and has been presented at several key international conferences. She received the European Society for Biomaterials Julia Polak Educational Doctorate Award for her doctoral research. Dr. Lang’s postdoctoral research focussed on varying aspects of nanoparticles including investigation of both therapeutic and environmental appli- cations of nanoparticles, quantification of nanoparticles in biological samples and exploration of biore- mediation approaches to detect and capture nanoparticles in environmental samples. Dr. Lang is currently a lecturer in chemistry at the Institute of Technology, Sligo Ireland. She is a member of both the Nanotechnology and Bio-Engineering Research Division and the Centre for Environmental Research, Innovation and Sustainability at IT Sligo. She is a committee member of the Microscopy Society of Ireland and a past committee member of the Environmental Scientists Association of Ireland. She is actively involved in the co-ordination and delivery of outreach events to promote scientific activities to the public. Her research interests include: (1) investigation of diatom cultures and diatom products as decontamination agents for removal of organic pollutants from water; (2) interactions of microorganisms and microplastics and (3) impact of outreach activities on attitudes to habitat, health and well-being. vii Contributors Alexander Black Peter Dockery Division of Anatomy Division of Anatomy School of Medicine School of Medicine College of Medicine, Nursing and Health College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Sciences National University of Ireland Galway National University of Ireland Galway Galway, Ireland and Centre for Microscopy and Imaging National University of Ireland Galway Ailish Breen Galway, Ireland Nanotechnology and Bio-engineering Research Group Department of Environmental Science Andy Fogarty School of Science Department of Life and Physical Sciences Institute of Technology Sligo Athlone Institute of Technology and Athlone, Ireland Centre for Precision Engineering, Materials and Manufacturing Research (PEM) Priyanka Ganguly Institute of Technology Sligo Nanotechnology and Bio-engineering Research Sligo, Ireland Group Department of Environmental Science Saoirse Dervin School of Science Nanotechnology and Bio-Engineering Research Institute of Technology Sligo Group and Department of Environmental Science Centre for Precision Engineering, Materials and Institute of Technology Sligo Manufacturing Research (PEM) and Institute of Technology Sligo Centre for Precision Engineering, Materials and Sligo, Ireland Manufacturing Research (PEM) Institute of Technology Sligo Sligo, Ireland ix
