I am a lecturer in the Department of Economics at UCC and currently registered for my doctorate under the supervision of Professor Geoffrey Hodgson at the University of Hertfordshire, UK.
I am an undergraduate of Waterford Institute of Technology (BBS, 2004) and subsequently received a Masters in Economic Science from University College Cork in 2005.
From a teaching perspective I am part of the Bachelor of Arts (Economics) Degree teaching team and lecture to first year and second year classes in this degree. I also lecture to commerce students at postgraduate level.
My academic management responsibilities include Directorship of the Masters in Business Practice Economics programme with responsibility for our six month internship module offered as part of this programme. Internships are currently host by Ford Ireland, EMC, Musgrave and Johnson & Johnson. If you are interested in participating in this programme please contact me by email. More information is provided here.
My research interests include institutional economics and sports economics. If these are of interest to you and you would like to discuss any of my research please contact me. Greater detail of my research as well as the other areas alluded to above is available by clicking the tabs on the side bar.
Finally, I am delighted to announce that the 2012 Irish Society of New Economists Conference will take place at University College Cork. More information is available at the official ISNE 2012 website.
I hope you enjoy the site and find it useful!
