Dr. Tadhg O´Mahony Ph.D. B.Sc. Dip.
Biography
Dr. Tadhg O’Mahony is an Environmental and Energy Economist specialising in macro-environmental systems, spatial-transport planning, and quantitative climate policy evaluation. Over a 20-year career spanning elite academic research and senior institutional roles—including serving as Senior Economist at the secretariat of the Irish Climate Change Advisory Council—his work focuses on developing quantitative structural frameworks to evaluate aggregate development trajectories under systemic energy and climate constraints.
A former double Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, Dr. O’Mahony has led quantitative research streams for international research projects and served as a lead author for Ireland’s Climate Change Assessment. His pedagogical and research expertise bridges standard neoclassical environmental economics, market-based instruments (such as carbon pricing and cost-benefit frameworks), and macro-structural simulation. Methodologically, he specialises in integrating top-down macroeconomic accounting with bottom-up techno-economic and spatial-transport modelling to provide data-driven insights for long-term policy design.
He holds research and lecturing affiliations with leading institutions, including University College Dublin and the Turku School of Economics, and his work is extensively published across leading international peer-reviewed journals in environmental economics, energy, and policy.
