Personal profile
Biography
I am an Eli Lilly Lecturer in Process and Chemical Engineering, University College Cork (UCC) and a Funded Investigator (FI) of the Circular Economy, Energy, and Environmental Systems (CEEES) Research Group, within MaREI, the Taighde Éireann (Research Ireland) research centre for energy, climate and marine. Currently I am leading multiple research projects on the topics of circular economy, bioeconomy and biorefining, particularly focusing on microalgal biogas upgrading, advanced applications of biochar and regenerating the wool industry in Ireland. I also serve as the programme director of two masters programmes in UCC, Part-Time MEngSc Pharmaceutical & Biophamraceutical Engineering and Full-Time MEngSc Engineering in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Systems. My qualifications include PhD in Engineering in 2022 on Photosynthetic Biogas Upgrading, co-funded by Taighde Éireann (Science Foundation Ireland) and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI), a Double Degree Masters in Sustainable Energy Engineering, with a special focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and academic-industry collaborative research and a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. In addition, I also have a couple of years of work experience as a construction and commissioning engineer and piping design engineer in a world-leading industrial and medical gas manufacturing establishment.
Research Interests
Currently, I have interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research interests which include:
- Biochemical and bioprocessing engineering for co-production of advanced pharmaceuticals, chemicals and/or energy
- Microalgae biorefinery
- Biorefinery and bioenergy systems
- Advanced biomaterials including biochar and wool
- Decarbonisation of industrial processes
- Circular (bio)economy and industrial symbiosis
- Multi-scale modelling, process optimisation and sustainability assessments including techno-economic analysis (TEA) and environmental and social life cycle analyses (e-LCA and s-LCA)
- Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU)
Teaching Activities
I am the Programme Director of the Part-Time and Full-Time Pharma Biopharma Masters Programmes in Process and Chemical Engineering, UCC.
I leture and coordinate multiple modules across levels 8 and 9 in Process and Chemical Engineering including
- Separation Processes (PE3012)
- Process Design and Feasibility Analysis (PE3016)
- Complex Separation Processes (PE6035).
- Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing (PE6057)
- Pharmaceutical Industry Optimisation and Scale-up (PE6016)
- ME Research Thesis (PE6050)
- MEngSc Dissertation (PE6051)
I also lecture in multiple modules in the Level 7 Certificate and Diploma in Process and Chemical Engineering under the Adult Education Programme.
