• Project manager on the CETUS project (€800k budget)• Lead PI on the 'Beyond the Bay' flapper skate tracking project (€200k budget)• Currently managing the elasmobranch (shark, skate and ray) tracking component on the CETUS project. My role is to explore hotspots of elasmobranch movements, and potential areas of interaction with renewable energy developments. Tracked species include flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius), tope (Galeorhinus galeus), porbeagle (Lamna nasus) and catshark (Scyliorhinus canicular).• Part of the Tintreach project research team, which aims to study how electromagnetic fields (EMF) may influence the behavioural ecology of elasmobranchs.
