Dr. Avril Williams
Professor of Inclusive Education and Disability Studies Dr. Stacey Blackman,
is a respected expert in electrochemistry who has consistently demonstrated a commitment to academic rigour and intellectual curiosity. Her research is tailored to the design and development of sensors for real-time field monitoring using self-recognising molecules that can be controlled at the atomic level. This work has offered invaluable knowledge advancements in the creation of new, smart electrode materials for sensors; novel electrochemical sensing; signalling techniques; wireless or bipolar electrochemiluminescence signal transduction methods; and biosensors for disease biomarkers, all having significant relevance to poorer countries where testing and analysis resources are minimal or nonexistent and oftentimes expensive and time-consuming.
a seasoned scholar in the field of special (needs) education, has been a cornerstone of the university’s academic landscape. An educator at the School of Education in the Faculty of Humanities and Education at Cave Hill, she has served as Discipline Coordinator of the BEd Special Education and MEd Inclusive Practices as well as the Coordinator of both the Associate Degree and Bachelor of Education programmes. Her groundbreaking research, coupled with a passion for teaching, has left an indelible mark on both students and colleagues alike.
