Patrick O’Rourke Email and Phone Number

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have an active interest in everything design manufacture and really enjoy creating items and designs from scratch. I love to read and travel, I am a very active person through geocaching with hiking and exploring new areas being an integral part of my life.I have a keen interest in the issue of climate change. Without doubt this is one of the most predominant threats to the modern world and our way of life. Chemical engineering has much to contribute in easing the impact of climate change, particularly in the de-carbonation of energy systems. Hopefully I will develop the knowledge and expertise to steer the economy towards a greener approach to energy usage and storage. Energy storage and transfer, as well as carbon capture and storage, are two topics that I look forward to furthering my knowledge and expertise when studying a chemical engineering degree.
