| I graduated from UCD with a BE (Hons) degree in 2006, where I developed an interest in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. I returned to UCD to commence a PhD on the topic of offshore pile design, which I completed in 2010. Currently, I am working on a joint industry project, investigating the optimum foundation solutions for the next generation of offshore turbines. In addition to my research interests, I have consulted on a range of industry projects, including onshore and offshore foundation design. (Geotechnical Consultancy: http://www.gdgeo.com/ ). I am a member of the Deep Foundation Institute (DFI) technical committees for "Marine Foundations" and "Driven Piling". |
