Biography

I am a qualified Strategic Project Manager (IPMA level C certified) with over 8 years professional experience in project, program and stakeholder management.

During a fulfilling research career in the physical sciences, I gained problem-solving, logical- reasoning and communication skills through challenging research projects and dissemination of results. I have developed further organisational, coordination and project management competencies through more recent roles such as a Programme Manager at Dublin City University (DCU) and a data analyst within Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). Moving forward I would like to further develop my management skills and responsibilities staying rooted within project management positions that offer a fast-paced, collaborative environment focused on creating value for the clients / company.
Kevin undertook his Postdoctoral research at Dublin City University under a Marie Curie Re-Integration grant, and is previously a holder of an IRCSET EMPOWER award. He completed his PhD at Monash University (Melbourne Australia) and is also a certified Strategic Project Manager.

I am currently a Senior Programme Manager for the EDGE Programme. EDGE is a €12M+ Marie Skłodowska-Curie CO-FUND Action, led by Trinity College Dublin on behalf of 11 Irish Third Level Institutes.

Responsibilities Include:

- Reporting to the European Commission and being the point of contact for all project operations including postdoctoral fellows (71 Fellows), the three SFI Centres management teams, HR, finance, communications, EU funding and Commercialisation teams.

industry facing events, steering and advisory board meetings.
- Collate incoming data on scientific outputs, dissemination and training activities and
secondments, and summarise for reporting.
