Biography

Eoghan Clifford is a chartered engineer and Professor of Engineering at the University of Galway. He graduated with a BE and PhD degrees (both Environmental Engineering) in 2002 and 2010 respectively from NUI Galway. He is currently the Head of Discipline of the Academic Director of the CÉIM peer-mentoring programme within the School of Engineering. Eoghans key research and educational interests lie in the areas of wastewater and water engineering, process modelling and life cycle assessment.Eoghansresearch team has ongoing and significant EU, national and industry research funding. His team currently coordinates ENERGE (Interreg NWE), is technical lead on INNOQUA (H2020) and a WP leader on NEPTUNUS project (InterReg Atlantic Areas). He has previously coordinated the Waternomics (FP7) project and a variety of projects funded by national and industry sources through competitive research grants. He has been involved in projects with a total value of 70 million. Of these he has been the coordinator, principal investigator or co-PI on projects worth 55 million. The total direct funding value to the University of Galway of these projects is 7.5 million. He is also collaborating with the technical University of Eindhoven on modelling the aerodynamics of paralympic cyclists on tandem andhandcycles.Outside of the research and commercial fields he has a particular interest also in policy development and improving educational outcomes and Public - No restriction awareness of the need for a more sustainable approach to resource consumption. His key research and educational interests lie in the areas of fluid dynamics, cycling aerodynamics, wastewater and water engineering and the development of tools and sustainable technology that can improve outcomes in these sectors.
