Very happy to meet University Of Limerick colleagues at TRA Conference today. Petar & team put on a great showcase on the applications of drone technology in transport. #tra2024 #StudyAtUL

Trying to explain to @EngineeringAtUL students how side bracing transfers wind loads from horizontal roof trusses to foundations. Those with hoodies got it! #StudyAtUL

Engineering is the creative application of maths & science to design and build things. Not only do civil @EngineeringAtUL students learn about analysis & design, they learn a lot about building, esp in relation to the construction sequence, assembly and stability. #StudyAtUL

Delighted to graduate from University College Dublin today surrounded by my biggest supporters: wifey Joanne O'Donnell, PhD supervisor Professor AOIFE AHERN, UCD and my parents. Couldn’t have done it without them! #sustainabletransport

Many thanks to all supporters for the IDP Site Survey esp Eamon (NCW Surveys). As part of @EngineeringAtUL students' Yr3 project, 10 hectares were surveyed and will now be drawn up to help finalise their structural designs. #StudyAtUL

Research published on the analysis of submissions on an Active Travel Scheme in Limerick. Takeaways: Twice as many +ve submissions than -ve, access concerns from residents & advocates for the elderly and safer facility should support more active travel. systems.enpress-publisher.com/index.php/jipd…

It was very nice to chat to prospective Faculty of Science & Engineering | UL students about exciting careers across a range of engineering disciplines. TY students were on campus last week on a STEPS Engineering Your Future Programme. #StudyAtUL

GOT dead army pull dragon from lake but physics laws must be respected! Cables work in tension only and can't carry comp/shear forces or bending moments. If you’re pulling a cable and not applying other loads, it will remain straight (ignoring self-weight). #StudyAtUL

It’s like Christmas Day here! Just took delivery of four new total stations for School of @EngineeringAtUL, esp for civil eng & construction management students. Thanks KOREC Group for continued support in University Of Limerick. #StudyAtUL

Delighted to be attending and participating in this national event. I’ll be on a panel this afternoon discussing the role of research in the roll out of cycling infrastructure.

Really enjoyed this discussion - thanks for the invitation. Much of it related to this research paper: systems.enpress-publisher.com/index.php/jipd…
