Beyond academics, my time at TU Dublin has been transformative. I have developed lasting professional connections and friendships for life. Winning this award is a privilege, and I am proud to represent the university. The experience and knowledge gained here will stay with me throughout my career."
In another School of Transport and Civil Engineering success on the night, many congratulations to Patrick Crean who was awarded Fellowship of the Institution of Structural Engineers.
The FIStructE grade recognises members who make outstanding contributions to structural engineering, demonstrate exceptional commitment in industry or education through their leadership. Patrick demonstrated his technical expertise, his leading role on projects of international significance, and his inspirational teaching in order to be awarded the title.
