About

I am a Research Fellow in Transportation Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and serve as Research Staff Representative (2025/26) on the School of Engineering Executive and Research Committees.

My research focuses on human behaviour in complex transport and energy systems. I develop integrative frameworks combining econometric modelling, machine learning, causal inference, and energy–transport systems analysis to study activity–travel and energy-related decision-making.

I have secured over €1.35 million in competitive research funding — as Co-Investigator on an EPA Ireland project (Integrated Grid Resilience for Infrastructure Sustainability & Emergencies, 2026–2028) and Co-Principal Investigator on an SEAI RD&D grant (Causal Inference for Resilient Cities and Urban Integrated Transport, 2026–2030).

I am an Imperial College Global Fellow and Turing Scheme awardee (2022), having conducted research at the Technical University of Munich. I have also held the Dixon Scholarship, Wellcome Trust Scholarship, Texas District Student Fellowship, and a graduate fellowship at UT Austin.
