Biography

Aidan obtained a First Class Honours Degree and Gold medal in Chemistry from TCD in 2002. From 2003 to 2008 he performed Ph.D. research with Prof. Gerard van Koten at Utrecht University. From 2008 to 2012 he was a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Lawrence Que at the University of Minnesota. He was awarded an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2009. Aidan was appointed as an Assistant Professor in Inorganic Chemistry at TCD in 2012. In 2013 he was awarded a Marie-Curie Career Integration Grant, in late 2015 he was awarded an ERC starting grant, and in 2016 we has awarded a Royal Society/SFI University Research Fellowship.

Research Intrest

Research in the Bioinspired Inorganic Chemistry Group revolves around model compounds and catalysts that mimic the roles metals play in Biology. Our goals are to: design novel catalysts; understand metalloproteins; develop treatments for adverse metalloprotein chemistry; and investigate the Chemistry of 2D nanomaterials. http://chemistry.tcd.ie/staff/people/mcdonald
