Research activity per year
I am a lecturer in Atlantic Technological University, Sligo and my current research focuses on Sustainable Food Production, specifically the development of food products from plant-based proteins, proteins from sustainable sources such as insects, and development of food products using ingredients generated in side streams of food processing (Reduction of Food Waste). I am also exploring changes in taste perception with age or disease in order to develop foods targeted to specific population groups such as older adults.
