Research Profile

Maedhbh Nic Lochlainn

Biography

I am a Lecturer in Human Geography and GIS at University College Cork. My research interests are at the intersection of urban and digital geographies, and I am particularly interested in urban financialisation, housing, and the transformation of urban space as digital/material process.

I teach across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules in geography, but have particular strengths in critical GIS, digital/urban geographies, and research methods. 

After studying at Trinity College Dublin (BA (Mod) in History and Geography) and Maynooth University (MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing), I completed my PhD in the Department of Geography at Trinity College Dublin. Supervised by Dr Cian O’Callaghan, my doctoral research focused on housing and urban contestation in post-crash Dublin and, drawing from my expertise in GIS and computational skills, used a combination of mixed methods for data collection, analysis, and interpretation. I took up a post in the Department of Geography and Spatial at the University of Luxembourg before moving to UCC in 2023.
