Dr Ray Butler has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Dept of Experimental Physics at NUI Galway since November 1999. After obtaining his doctorate on the photometry of the stellar populations in Globular Cluster Cores he was awarded a two year Marie Curie Fellowship which he elected to hold at the University of Edinburgh. Here he worked on various projects to do with astronomical image processing. This work included photometry & astrometry, deconvolution, and instrument/detector response modelling and simulations. Today his teaching revolves around observational and computational Astronomy and he has six science papers to his credit.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
