General information about Experimental Physics at Maynooth
NUI Maynooth
The National University of Ireland, created by an Act of the Oireachtas in May, 1997, is a direct outgrowth from the country's second oldest university institution, St. Patrick's College, Maynooth. It is the home of many distinguished scientists and scholars with a wealth of experience in teaching and research.
Famous Scientists from Maynooth
Maynooth has a long tradition of excellence in Experimental Physics. The inventor of the induction coil, Nicholas Callan, was Professor of Experimental Physics from 1826 to 1864. One of Callan's most distinguished pupils, Gerald Molloy, did pioneering work in the development of wireless telegraphy, and his international reputation in this field was such that Marconi came to Dublin to attend some of his lectures.
See the National Science Museum here in Maynooth.
Facilities at Maynooth
Experimental Physics at the National University of Ireland Maynooth has taken a giant leap forward with the completion of a new science building on the North Campus in 1998. This building now houses the departments of Experimental Physics, and Chemistry and the new facilities, in equipment as well as in space, mean that Maynooth has one of the most modern and best equipped physics departments in the country. The departmental staff are heavily committed to both teaching and research. Much of the research work involves international collaborations and opportunities exist for undergraduates to be introduced to topics relating to some of these areas of investigation.
