Curriculum vitae
_______________________________________________________________
Mark G. Healy attended the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway), where he obtained his BE degree. He obtained a MEngSc degree, through research, in the Department of Engineering Hydrology, NUI Galway and was awarded a PhD degree in Civil Engineering from the Department of Civil Engineering, NUI Galway. He worked as a Project Engineer for one year, before returning to lecture in the Department of Civil Engineering, NUI Galway, where he is currently a Senior Lecturer. In 2006, he became a Chartered Engineer and in
2011, he was made Fellow of Engineers Ireland. He was nominated for the President’s
Awards for Teaching Excellence in three years (2011, 2012 and 2013), and was awarded the
President’s Award for Research (Research Supervisor Award Category) in 2014.
Dr Healy currently leads the Geo-ENvironmental Engineering (GENE) Research Group
(www.nuigalway.ie/gene), which currently comprises researchers from Teagasc, Johnstown
Castle; nine PhD students, one Masters student, and one post-doctoral researcher. The group’s research work is primarily in the area of experimental environmental engineering, forestry and soil erosion, and in particular, the investigation of the fate of phosphorus and nitrogen in soil-plant-water systems and the effects of agricultural management on soil and water quality. Dr Healy has published four book chapters and 76 peer-reviewed journal papers in leading international journals (including Water Research, Science of the Total
Environment, Bioresource Technology, Ecological Engineering, Soil Biology and
Biochemistry, etc.) He has also presented 56 conference papers at national and international conferences and has published five reports. To date, with collaborators, he has successfully competed for research funding awards in excess of €5 million. He has supervised to completion 11 PhD students and five research masters students. Graduates of GENE have gone on to work for prestigious academic institutions (University of Arkansas, Edinburgh
University), state bodies in Ireland and elsewhere (Teagasc, The French National Institute for
Agricultural Research – INRA), and major engineering consultancies. Dr. Healy has collaborated with many companies, third level institutes and funding agencies (research or supervision of undergraduate/postgraduate students), including Teagasc, ENTPE (Ecole d’ingénieurs de l’Écologie, de l’Énergie, du Développement durable et de la Mer), Lyon,
France; Université François-Rabelais de Tours, France; Sheffield University, University of
Arkansas, University College Dublin, University College Cork, University of Limerick;
University of Ulster; AFBI; Marine Institute; EPA; DAFM; and a variety of consulting engineers.
Dr Healy has conducted peer reviews for approximately 70 international academic journals
(many of them on multiple occasions). He has acted as external examiner on five PhD theses and as internal examiner on five PhD theses. He served on the management committees of two COST actions (WATER_2020 and SENSFOR; both 2012 - 2016). He was Programme
Director on the BE Environmental Engineering Degree (2009 – 2013) and he was a core member of the panels for the accreditation and quality reviews of the BE Degrees in Civil and
Environmental Engineering in 2005, 2006 and 2012.
In addition to his core academic duties, Dr Healy served on the Coillte Social and
Environmental Panel for Connemara/Mayo (2011 – 2015), which provided guidance and feedback on the policy and activities of Coillte. He is the Civic Engagement Representative for the College of Engineering and Informatics (2011 – present). He was on the Advisory Board and taught on the Going to College Programme (2011 – 2014), a programme aimed at integrating people with intellectual disabilities into University life; and was also on the
Advisory Board and taught on the Youth Academy Project (2011 – 2014), a programme which aims to inspire entry into University by introducing children and their families to University life.

Module Development
2013-present: Technical Writing in Engineering
I have developed and lecture on a module, delivered to 4 th Year Civil Engineering, Project and
Construction Management and ME (Civil) students, entitled, ‘Technical Writing in
Engineering’. Students attend lectures on plagiarism, abstract writing and structural coherence, and have to complete assignments such as writing an Abstract, editing a document for narrative structure and grammatical errors, peer-reviewing other students’ editing work, database searches and EndNote, and finally, the students have to write a short technical document, comprising Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and
Discussion, Conclusions, and Reference sections, and subject it to review from me and
(blind) peer review from their colleagues.
2011-2014: Engineering module in the Youth Academy Programme
I designed and taught on an Engineering module in the Youth Academy at NUI Galway.
This project offers courses to 10 to 12-year-olds from the Galway region, and aims to inspire entry into University by introducing children and their families to University life by creating positive perceptions of the University and its academic programmes. The students work in groups on engineering-problems, including design, construction and testing of the strength of various types of bridges, water filtration systems, etc.
2011 – 2014: Going to College Programme for Engineering
I developed a module on the Going to College Programme, which was aimed at introducing students with intellectual disabilities into University life. I tailor-made a series of modules, taken by a special needs student over a 3-year duration, which aimed to satisfy his specific learning needs. In addition, I mentored the student over the duration of his studies.
2004 – 2008: Construction Operations (3 rd year undergraduate module)
From 2004 – 2008, I developed the Construction Operations module (CE 318 and CE 319) and radically altered it from its previous incarnation. This involved inviting practicing engineers and architects to lecture on the module to address issues such as health and safety issues, engineering law and aesthetics of design. The module content was carefully constructed so as each topic (and each lecturer) complimented one another (for example, health and safety concerns are quite different from a contractor and engineering consultants’ perspectives). The ultimate aim of this module was to give the students a rounded appreciation of the engineering landscape.
2009/10: Developed (with colleagues in Civil Engineering, Geography and CELT) a multidisciplinary module, entitled ‘Managing Development’, within the ‘Professional Engineer in
Society’ module that brought 3 rd year Engineers (Civil, Environmental and Project
Management) and Master of Arts (Environment, Society and Development) students together to investigate the work of NGOs.
2009 – present: Development of laboratories, site visits and communications (3 rd undergraduate module)
year
I have re-developed the undergraduate environmental engineering module so as students have complimentary laboratory assignments to the class material (prior to this, laboratories were treated as a separate subject, the laboratory practices were not appropriate and were not scheduled in synch with course material). To complement the module, they have to organize and visit water and wastewater treatment sites. Using flow and water quality data

This panel provided a consultation forum whereby environmental, social and community bodies can provide information and promote their interests in co-operation with Coillte management. This panel provided guidance and feedback on the policy and activities of
Coillte.
2011 – 2014 . Going to College Programme (Mentor and Member of Advisory Board)
This University/community project, in conjunction with the UNESCO Chair in Children, Youth and Civic Engagement, the Community Knowledge Initiative (CKI) and the National
Federation of Voluntary Bodies, aimed to include students with intellectual disabilities in NUI
Galway. I mentored a student with an intellectual disability. I worked with my colleagues to design an appropriate course for him, I met with him weekly and set various assignments for him to complete. Through interaction with other students, and academic and administrative staff, both socially and in the lecture hall, there was a marked change in him. To have played a small role in his life was very gratifying for me.
