New Perspectives in Science Education

Greg Foley is a chemical engineer with over 25 years’ experience of teaching chemical engineering on an undergraduate degree programme in biotechnology in Dublin City University. He is currently the associate Dean for Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Science and Health. His chemical engineering research focuses on membrane filtration processes, an area in which he has published 30 papers in international journals. He is also the author of the 2013 textbook, Membrane Filtration: A problem-solving approach with MATLAB, published by Cambridge University Press. His teaching and learning research is mainly centred on developing new approaches to teaching chemical engineering computation but he is increasingly interested in interdisciplinary teaching and general education policy.
