Personal profile
Biography
Assistant Professor of Bacteriology at the University of Galway and a bioinformatician working at the interface of experimental microbiology, microbial genomics, computational biology, and emerging quantum-inspired bioinformatics. His research focuses on antimicrobial resistance, host-associated and environmental microbial systems, and microbial adaptation across clinical, built, and extreme environments, including space-associated systems. He leads an interdisciplinary research programme integrating culturomics, genomics, multi-omics, bioinformatics, and quantum-enabled methodological development to investigate microbial ecology, evolution, and translational potential across Earth and space systems.
