Biography
I am a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and The University of Edinburgh, currently working as a Research Assistant with Professor Iris Möller as part of the Trinity Coastal Research Group. I first developed an interest in natural science during my undergraduate studies in Environmental Science at Trinity College Dublin, and I am particularly interested in the interactions between physical and biological ecosystem characteristics, and how we can employ novel technologies and methods to better understand these interactions. I am also interested in how as scientists we interact with the public, in particular regarding environmental science education. This is an interest I pursued during my master’s study of Science Communication and Public Engagement at The University of Edinburgh.
