Chemical engineer and data scientist specializing in process modelling, optimization, and ML.
IrelandWhat I'm looking for
I am a Chemical Engineer and Data Scientist with a Ph.D. focused on process modelling, simulation, and multi-objective optimization for industrial synthesis processes. I combine computational tools (Python, MATLAB, R) with process simulators (Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, ChemCAD) to deliver data-driven optimization, surrogate modelling, and techno-economic insights.
I have academic and teaching experience, having conducted research and supervised labs during my Ph.D., lectured at higher-education institutions, and applied my skills in industry roles including content moderation operations. I seek roles where I can apply process optimisation, machine learning, and simulation to improve industrial performance and decision-making.
