Focused researcher and environmental consultant with a thorough approach to groundwater, wastewater and soil treatment processes. I am based in Dublin, but engaged in a number of water treatment projects in South Asia. I take pleasure in solving green technology challenges and brainstorming over new concepts. I enjoy drafting technical documents- proposals, reports, ppt and articles. I am proficient in various graphical and statistical software packages.
Currently I am doing a Masters in Natural Resource Economics and Policy from NUI Galway, Ireland. Econometric modelling, data analysis and cost-benefit evaluations are the topics that I am most curious about. I am always looking for new opportunities in the field of environmental management involving stakeholder engagement.
