Research activity per year
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Marine Science in 2001 and a MSc (Research) in Freshwater Fish Ecology in 2004 both from the University of Galway and a PhD in salmonid ecology from University College Cork in 2010. I held several postdoc positions in UCC and NUIG on freshwater and marine ecology as well as terrestrial ecology before joining the Atlantic Technological University as a lecturer and researcher in 2014. My research interests include marine and freshwater fish ecology, trophic ecology, sustainable fisheries management, biodiversity conservation and marine food traceability. The use of analytical methods including trace elemental fingerprinting, stable isotope analyses and fatty acid analyses feature in much of my research. I am a lecturer in aquatic ecology and statistics on both the BSc Applied Freshwater and Marine Biology and the BSc Agriculture & Environmental Management for which I am also the programme chair.
