Biography

Note: For further information on Prof Healy's research, please go to: http://www.universityofgalway.ie/gene/

Mark G. Healy attended the University of Galway, where he obtained his BE degree. He obtained a MEngSc degree, through research, in the Department of Engineering Hydrology, University of Galway and was awarded a PhD degree in Civil Engineering from the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Galway. He is currently a Personal (Full) Professor in Civil Engineering at University of Galway. 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. In 2019, he received the Degree of Doctor of Engineering (DEng), based on published works. 

Prof Healy leads the Geo-ENvironmental Engineering (GENE) Research Group (www.universityofgalway.ie/gene), which currently comprises researchers from Teagasc, Johnstown Castle, seven PhD students, one MEngSc student, and one postdoctoral researcher. 
The group¿s research work is primarily in the area of experimental environmental engineering, and in particular, the investigation of the fate of phosphorus, nitrogen and other contaminants in soil-plant-water systems, and the effects of agricultural management on soil and water quality. To date, GENE has successfully competed for >35 research funding awards with a total value of over ¿10 million. Prof Healy has published five book chapters and 142 peer-reviewed journal papers in leading international journals. He has also presented 78 conference papers at national and international conferences and has published seven reports. He has supervised to completion 21 PhD and five research masters students, and mentored three postdoctoral researchers. Graduates of GENE have gone on to work for academic institutions (University of Galway, University of Arkansas, Edinburgh University, Waterford Institute of Technology, University of Gujrat (Pakistan)), state bodies in Ireland and elsewhere (Teagasc, The French National Institute for Agricultural Research ¿ INRA), and major engineering consultancies. 

Prof. Healy has collaborated with many companies, third level institutions and funding agencies (research or supervision of undergraduate/postgraduate students), and a variety of consulting engineers. 
Prof Healy has conducted peer reviews for >90 international academic journals. He has held numerous external examiner posts in various Universities: for the Higher Diploma in Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin (2016-2020) and the civil and environmental engineering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at Queen¿s University Belfast (2023 ¿ 2027). He has acted as external examiner on 13 PhD theses within and outside of Europe, and has also delivered invited seminars, keynote addresses, lectures and presentations nationally and internationally. He served on the management committees of two COST actions, has chaired and co-chaired international conferences, and has served on the review panels for national and international research bodies. He was Programme Director for the Undenominated Engineering Programme at the University of Galway (2016 to 2023), and is currently Vice Dean for Student Recruitment and Public Engagement in the College of Science and Engineering (2023 ¿ present).

In addition to his core academic duties, Prof 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 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.

Research Interests

Research interests include: surface and subsurface processes with a particular interest in erosion and surface runoff of nutrients, solids and metals, and leaching of nutrients through soil; greenhouse gas emissions; soil fertility; constructed wetlands; sand filtration; sequencing batch reactors; biosolids; composting; and the effects of forestry activities, such as clearfelling, on the environment (nutrient loss, use of buffer zones, greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere).

Outreach Activities

  Description

2011 – present. Going to College Programme

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. A student with intellectual disabilities partook in some of my classes and activities related to the module.


2011 – present. Civic Engagement Representative for the College of Engineering and Informatics, NUI Galway.


2011 – present. Social and Environmental Panel for Connemara/Mayo District.

This panel provides a consultation forum whereby environmental, social and community bodies can provide information and promote their interests in co-operation with Coillte management.
