Biography

Dr Richard O鈥橲hea is a Lecturer in Sustainability in Enterprise with the School of Engineering in 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC). Richard worked as a Senior Postdoctoral Research, and a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Bioenergy and Biofuels research Group in MaREI with an industrial partner company. His prime area of work was assessing methods to decarbonise a large facility in the food and beverage sector in Ireland. Richard also worked as a design engineer with RPS primarily in the area of HVAC. He obtained his PhD degree in Energy Engineering from UCC in 2018. His research has focused on biomethane production via anaerobic digestion, resource assessments, technoeconomic analysis, optimisation, GIS, and multi criteria decision analysis. This has led to over 30 peer-reviewed journal publications in journals including Applied Energy, Bioresource Technology, and Renewable Energy.
