Aimee is from a Civil & Structural Engineering background and her research has centred on sustainable buildings since 2009. This spans from retrofit to new material development, building energy performance to circular construction detailing and practices. She has experience in lab and in-situ monitoring and analysis, prototyping, structural and thermal testing, developing verified dynamic models, and conducting occupant, stakeholder and policy-maker surveys and interviews. She is currently on the Board for DYNASTEE, the EU network for 'DYNamic Analysis, Simulation and Testing applied to the Energy and Environmental performance of buildings'. She has acted as PI on multiple national and international projects including SAOLwood (looking at the use of Irish timber in construction), BIO-RACE (which is developing new bio-based modular panels) and PREDICT (examining the energy performance gap in buildings). Aimee also leads the Bio- and Circular Economies Research Group at TU Dublin which has a membership of 40 from multiple disciplines across the University. Aimee is currently working in the Office of the VP for Sustainability as Sustainability Education Lead and is supervising Masters and PhD students in the School of Civil & Transport Engineering.
