UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering Associate Professor Aoife Gowen featured recently in an Irish Times article highlighting the benefits of the EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions programme. Dr. Gowen researched the use of Hyperspectral Imaging to investigate how the human body interacts with biomaterials in Kobe University, Japan under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie award. This work formed the basis of her being awarded a European Research Council grant to set up an imaging lab in UCD.
