About
I currently work at Google, as part of Google Maps.
I co-founded coUrbanize, a startup in Cambridge, MA. coUrbanize provides an online platform for cities and property developers to share project information with residents. I worked as a data scientist and led the technical team from 2013-2016.
I am interested in how technology can be used to achieve greater sustainability and societal equality. I have a PhD (2012) and Masters (2008) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Bachelors (2006) from University College Dublin. At MIT I worked with John Fernandez on the topic of urban metabolism, focusing on neighborhood scale analysis. I developed analysis methods to perform large scale statistical analysis of urban parameters, and related these parameters to energy and material use.
