Paul Hynds

TU Dublin

Dr Paul Hynds is Principal Investigator in the Environmental Sustainability and Health Institute (ESHI), Technological University Dublin at Grangegorman. Paul graduated with a PhD in Environmental Engineering in 2012 from Trinity College Dublin, with primary interests in environmental fate modelling, waterborne infection and statistical modelling. His work is borne out of the “dual receptor” model acknowledging that both the environment and humans are affected by climate and contamination. His work employs statistical, mathematical and machine learning tools to predict the presence, frequency, and movement of contaminants in the Irish environment, and how, when and where these contaminants cause adverse human health effects.
