Dervil Cody is a lecturer in Medical Physics in the School of Physics, Clinical and Optometric Sciences (TU Dublin) and a PI in the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics. Dervil holds a PhD in Physics, a Higher Diploma in 3rd Level Teaching and Learning, and a BSc in Physics with Astrophysics. Her research interests are in the development of optical and holographic sensors which can aid clinically in the quality assurance, calibration and dosimetry of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices.
Facilities and equipment available to the team both in the lab and in their institution:
The Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics operates multiple state-of-the-art holography laboratories equipped with UV/visible/IR wavelength lasers and optical components; automated optical set ups for holographic recording and testing of diffractive structures and photonic devices, as well as facilities for fabrication and testing of holographic sensors; laboratories for sample preparation, humidity-controlled experiments and dark rooms; multi-frequency low and high intensity therapeutic ultrasound equipment. Within TU Dublin, there is access to cart-based and hand-held diagnostic ultrasound scanners, as well as a broad range of spectroscopic and microscopic characterisation tools including AFM, phase contrast microscopy, Raman & FT-IR spectroscopy.
