      I’m working on about six different research projects. For example today I was talking with some people in my team about a project we are doing to monitor bees. We stick little sensors on their heads (they don’t mind!). We are trying to find out where they go and how they find flowers etc.

      Lots and lots of projects, all designing pressure vessels. Some are just starting, some are designs being agreed with our client, some are being built in the workshop, and some are finished and we’re just getting all the paperwork right!

      At the minute im working on using 3D printing to build prosthetic hands and legs, and implantable medical devices. Im also developing a wood processing technology to improve the quality and performance of wood for energy, which im forming a company around right now.

      Im also advising the EU on how build proper laws & rules around the use of bio-energy.

      And working an algae growth system i am developing over the last year or so, but its a long way off being finished yet.

      I’m working on the classification of Irish timber so that we know what values to use when designing structures.
