I am Noreen Quinn and I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis at Dublin City University. I was a member of the Modelling and Scientific Group and my supervisors were Dr. Lynn Killen of DCU and Dr.Frank Buckley of Teagasc Moorepark. I have however taken up a position as lecturer in Mathematics and Statistics at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
