Research Areas
I am broadly interested in several areas of Renewable Energy focusing primarily on energy efficiency and the practical application of the technologies to reduce cost in buildings. I also have a keen research interest in smart buildings technologies.
Main Research Projects:
- “Regional Evaluation of Saltwater Intrusion of Coastal Aquifers on Caribbean Island” project funded by the OAS and executed in Antigua, Barbados and Jamaica.
- “Assessment of the Effects of Drainage Wells (Suckwells) and Karst Sink Holes on the Groundwater Quality of Barbados" funded by OAS.
