Selected Experience

💻 Research Experience

I have extensive experience in conducting independent research using both qualitative and quantitative methods. I am currently a member of the P4 (Privatisation and Public-Private Partnerships) Research Cluster at the Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, where I research the governance and performance of Ireland’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Sector.

I currently have three peer reviewed works (with another currently under review 🤞) from my PhD thesis. My current work focuses on the hazards of contracting, and on the impact of contractor failure on public sector projects. I have also served as peer reviewer in both economics and public administration.
