My research focuses on the production of ammonium sulphate fertilizers which are produced from the nutrients in wastewater. This would eliminate excess phosphorous entering our waterways and allow for more regulated nitrogen quantities being applied to our land reducing pollution

Great end to the year recently completing my transfer to a PhD candidate and today receiving news that my first paper has been accepted into Analytical Methods journal. Here's hoping 2020 will bring as much success!!

A US survey asked Americans to identify Iran on a map. 📍 Someone thought it was in Wexford

Hope you enjoy 6 weeks on the research vessel. Good luck, Dan. #Ad

.DCU Water Institute delighted for Brian Brennan ️ on his first publication from SaltGae Project SALTGAE European Horizon 2020 Framework programme. Marine Institute EPA Ireland @scienceirel

Our recent publication focusing on the comparison of different extraction & derivatization methods for FAME analysis in Nannochloropsis algae and the identification of viable products which can be extracted from the species. scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo… DCU Water Institute SaltGae Project

Is COVOID-19 the cure to the human virus exerted on the Earths environment? I wrote an article which depicts the positive impacts the corona virus has had on our environment as part of DCU Water Institute daily blog. Have a read here: dcuwater.ie/2020/05/01/may…

Great to hear my co-supervisor Dr Jenny Lawler discussing the importance of water research in a global health crisis from her new position in QEERI, Qatar. Interesting to see the differences in the attitude towards water & how it’s treated in in a country which lacks fresh water.
