Niall J. English is an Irish inventor, researcher,[1] and chartered chemical engineer. He is a co-founder and director of BioSimulytics and AquaB.[2][3]
Early life and education
Niall J. English was born in Dublin, Ireland, to Michael and Catherine English.[citation needed] He grew up in Dublin and Brussels.[citation needed] He speaks Irish and French.[3] He obtained a first class honours degree in Chemical engineering from University College Dublin in 2000,[3] and won the Ferdinand de Lesseps medal in French as well as the Engineering Graduates' Association gold medal in his final year in 1999–2000.[4][not in citation given] English completed his Ph.D. in 2003.[3]
Career
During 2004–2005, English explored electric-field effects thereon, at the US DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh.[2] Between 2005 and 2007, English worked for Chemical Computing Group in Cambridge, Great Britain.[3] During this time, English developed molecular simulation codes, protocols, and methods for biomolecular simulation.[3]
In January 2007, he was hired as a lecturer at the School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering.[3][4] He was promoted to senior lecturer in 2014 and professor in 2017.[3]
English’s research specializes in nanoscience, energy, gas hydrates, solar and renewable energies, and simulation of electromagnetic field effects on (nano) materials and biological systems.[3]
In 2019, he is a co-founder and director of BioSimulytics[4][5] and Aqua-B.[3][4] Both companies are backed by the EIC-Accelerator program.[3]
In 2023, he took legal action against University College Dublin to block it from granting a commercialization license to his rival companies.[6][7] The case was settled out of court.[8]
