PAST Students, Staff and projects

Dr. Rory Monaghan (Jan 2010 - Dec 2011) While with C3 Rory was funded by Rolls Royce Canada Ltd and worked on the development and validation of computer models applicable to thermochemical systems, novel environmentally-benign energy technologies, and policies and incentives for innovation in the energy sector. Rory is now a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department in NUI Galway.
