Qualifications & Awards

  • PhD - Crop & Forage Science/Microbiology - Teagasc/University College Dublin - 2012
  • BSc (Hons) - Science (Biology Single Honours) -NUI Maynooth- 2008

Research & Interests

My research interests range across crop and forage science and animal feed science, with a background in field crop experimentation, cereal agronomy and modelling, and the evaluation of ruminant feed nutritive value, in particular silage crop preservation.   

Current Research Supervision and Projects
  • Clodagh King (Co-Supervisor) - Agcumulate - A study on the accumulation of microplastics in soils and terrestrial ecosystems.
  • Ryan Callan - Multispec - Ensiling Multispecies Swards
  • Remember Roger Adjei - CrOptions - Modelling wholecrop cereal biomass, yield and value for Ireland
  • Farjana Akter - Predicting the impact of climate change on Irish tillage farms and developing adaptation strategies
  • Ella Mulkerrins (Co-Supervisor)- Quantifying the incidence and implications of increasing disease pressure on perennial ryegrass farming in Ireland
