Current Projects

 

• I am currently a post-doctoral researcher on the FarmZeroC project, which is in collaboration with BiOrbic and the Carbery group. The aim of the project is to address the challenge of carbon neutral farming, and my job is to identify different methane-reducing feeding additives for pasture-based dairy cows.
