Personal profile

Biography

Magdalena is a chartered engineer, lecturer in Mechanical Engineering (Energy Systems), programme director of Energy System Engineering, director of Research and Innovation in the School of Engineering and director of Construct Innovate, Ireland's national Research Centre for Construction Technology and Innovation.

Magdalena's key research and educational interests lie in the areas of sustainability of the built environment, building performance modelling and monitoring, computational fluid dynamics simulation, smart and sustainable construction. She has worked on a number of national and international research projects, including Irish Research Council Enterprise Partnership Scheme with Oran Pre-Cast; Science Foundation Ireland nZEB-RETROFIT project; Aerodynamic optimisation of cycling in para-sports PhD project (in collaboration with TU/e); Science Foundation Ireland Industry Fellowship with Tobin Consulting Engineers; and a number of EU Horizon 2020 projects, such as Built2Spec, Hit2Gap, GeoFIT, METABUILDING Labs and MSCA FaceINQ.

Magdalena has taught in undergraduate/ postgraduate modules in Engineering, and upervised/ mentored students. She is very active in outreach activities, including promotion of engineering through workshops, seminars, open days, school visits, media articles and Engineers Week activities. Magdalena is also actively involved in Engineers Ireland West Region Committee (former chairperson and a representative on the CouncilCouncil of Engineers Ireland).
