Dr. John Gallagher

Dr Gallagher is an Assistant Professor in Environmental Systems Modelling and Director of TrinityHaus Trinity Research Centre in the Department of Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering. He is also a Fellow of Trinity College Dublin (FTCD) and holds a Education for Sustainability Development (ESD) Research Fellow within the University. Since Dr Gallagher's joined the Department, his research has focused on applying the 3M method (measurement, modelling and mitigation) to inform the development of passive engineered and nature-based solutions that deliver healthy indoor and outdoor spaces in a sustainable manner. His environmental pollution research focuses on reducing air pollution in and around buildings and transport hubs, improving environmental quality (air, noise and temperature) in urban green spaces. His work on low-carbon and resource efficient design of energy and infrastructure systems has informed contributions to standards development. Dr Gallagher has published over 50 papers in these areas in high impact international journals and international conferences, and to date he has been awarded over €1 million in research funding (from EPA, SFI, SEAI, Erasmus+, INTERREG NWE & AA, and HORIZON 2020). He currently supervises 5 PhD students and has an extended research team including 1 postdoctoral researcher and 4 research assistants in his research group. Dr Gallagher also a member of a number of National and International research groups including the Environmental Science Association of Ireland, the Future Urban Ventilation Group, and was a member of the executive committee of the Universities Transport Studies Group as well as the U.S. Transportation Research Board 'Air Quality and Climate Change' committee. He is also an Editor for the Discover Civil Engineering journal.
