As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Limerick, I specialize in integrating life cycle assessment (LCA), circular bioeconomy strategies, and environmental health into the design of sustainable systems.
With a PhD in Chemical Engineering focused on air pollution source apportionment and over seven years of experience in process engineering and process safety, I work at the intersection of science, policy, and real-world application.
My current research supports climate action and low-carbon transitions through environmental modeling and decision-support tools. As part of the FORESIGHT project, I assess circular bioeconomy scenarios to inform sustainable land use, carbon mitigation, and renewable energy strategies. I apply a systems-thinking approach to model emissions and resource flows across agricultural and industrial sectors and to evaluate the policy impacts of climate and sustainability measures.
Beyond research, I have contributed to EHS compliance and regulatory engagement in industrial settings, and continue to mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students in process engineering and sustainability topics. Passionate about advancing practical solutions for a more sustainable and resource-efficient future, my work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy, climate action, responsible production, and sustainable communities, helping to drive real-world impact in Ireland and beyond.”
