Welcome to my github account. Here are links to a number of my repositories:
Books
- Exploring Operations Research with R contains all the supporting material for my text book on using R for operations research. This also contains teaching resources for courses I teach based on the book's content.
- System Dynamics Modelling with R contains all the supporting material for my text book on using R for system dynamics modelling.
Workshops
- NEW System Dynamics Workshop using R - NATCOR 2026 Online contains supporting material for the updated NATCOR workshop on using R with System Dynamics, and includes a new section on Explanatory Model Analysis.
- Exploring OR with R Workshop OR65 and OR66 containing the supporting material for Making an Impact at the annual OR Society Conference (Bath 2023, Bangor 2024).
- System Dynamics Workshop using R contains supporting material for a workshop on using R with System Dynamics (e.g. NATCOR 2024)
Teaching Modules @University of Galway
- CT248, Introduction to Modelling, which contains lecture notes for the updated version of CT248 (starting January 2025).
- CT5102, Programming for Data Analytics contains supporting material for a post-graduate course in R that covers: Base R, the tidyverse and aspected of advanced R (S3, closures and creating packages).
Research
- Here is a link to my research profile on Google Scholar.
- See some of my recent co-authored publications:
- Pandemic preparedness modelling
- MPox Infection Dynamics
- Analysis of crisis text messages during COVID-19 in Ireland
- Age-Cohort COVID-19 Modelling as part of Ireland's response. This paper won the 2025 Jay Wright Forrester Award for the best contribution to the field of system dynamics in the preceding five years, awarded by the System Dynamics Society
- Inferring the reproduction number using deterministic and semi-deterministic compartmental models
Education and Public Engagement (EPE) activities
I'm working on a number of modules that support EPE activities. See below for further information.
