Invest NI and EU funding to support industry-led, collaborative research at Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University and the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute for pioneering projects in energy systems, bioenergy, and marine renewables. As a member of the MATRIX Sustainable Energy Horizon Panel, Sam has also helped shape policymaking for sustainable energy to strengthen Northern Ireland’s economy. On joining Tetra Tech’s Belfast office, Sam commented, “Had it not been for Covid, climate resilience and greenhouse gas reductions would have taken centre stage on every organisation’s agenda.

I believe that’s something Tetra Tech is well suited to take the lead on because of its strong sustainability ethos.”
