BIO
Driven by a deep interest in organ development and horticulture, my research focuses on understanding the physiological changes that occur during fruit and flower production. From agricultural practices to market quality and postharvest preservation, my work aims to develop innovative, sustainable solutions that enhance the productivity and resilience of fruit and flower crops.
As a Lecturer / Assistant Professor in Horticulture in the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, my teaching and research address the implementation of novel techniques and evidence‑based horticultural strategies to support a robust horticultural sector in Ireland.
