Since then she has worked as a post-doctoral researcher and project manager on a variety of national and EU funded projects in both Scotland and Ireland. Sandra has more than 70 publications in international peer-reviewed journals and has co-authored a number of book chapters. She completed a Project Management course with iPM (Integrated Project Management) in 2008. From 2007 until 2014 Sandra was the Programme Manager on the interdisciplinary PLANFORBIO forest biodiversity research programme at UCC, TCD and WIT, and also managed a number of other collaborative research projects at UCC.
