Eoin O'Connor

Eoin is an undergraduate Neuroscience student at Trinity College Dublin, currently completing his capstone project, which assesses dorsal premotor target accuracy in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. In 2023, he was awarded the Laidlaw Scholarship, which funded his summer research into astrocyte senescence markers in Alzheimer’s Disease. His research interests focus on neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular passion for using cutting-edge technology to better understand these conditions. Additionally, he is deeply interested in science communication, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding. Last summer, he  completed a 6-week volunteering project in Perth, expanding the community outreach of the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre. Outside of academia, he has a keen interest in music.
