Overview
After completing his degree Mícheál went on to pursue a PhD in the chemical production and combustion of 2nd generation biofuels. Mícheál utilized detail quantitative experimentation and robust numerical modelling to develop a comprehensive understanding of the reaction mechanism for the production of novel biofuel components from biomass and for the combustion of such components.
Mícheál joined Ormsby Forensics in 2020 and has since investigated a significant number of fires and escapes of chemicals.
