Dublin, Ireland

My responsibilities at SFI included the evaluation of research funding applications from Irish university researchers, managing the oversight of active research projects and managing award programmes. A lot of my time was spent communicating with various stakeholders within government agencies and academia. My research grant portfolio consisted of more than 70 active research projects in Physics, Renewable Energy, Nanotechnology, the Geosciences, Mathematics, Software Engineering and Chemistry. The total value of these awards was nearly €10 million. The projects required management through communication with the researchers, conducting progress reviews using international experts, analysis of outputs from the projects and value for money of the investments, reporting on progress to SFI management etc. As part of my duties I was also responsible for the oversight of Irish space and aerospace research activities at SFI. I compiled an extensive report on the Irish space and aerospace sector in order to improve oversight and identify possible opportunities for strengthened academic-industry collaborations. During 2011 I was one of two Irish National Contact Points for the European Research Council (ERC). This work involved giving advice to, and arranging information events for, Irish applicants and representing Ireland at ERC meetings in Brussels. In 2009 I worked on an SFI project aimed at connecting companies with academic researchers.
