I have supervised many projects involving the design and prototype development of apps and am happy to do more. Past examples include a mobile app to support development of patient self-efficacy, a mobile app to support suicide watch teams on the Corrib in Galway, a web application for supporting virtual work team productivity, and a … Read more
Increasingly Knowledge Graphs are underpinning Digital Humanities projects to support the representation and interlinking of data. For example in the recently launched Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI), a KG is used to represent people, places, roles that appear in historical documents and their interconnection over the centuries. Typically these KGs are implemented using W3C … Read more
In the world of big data and artificial intelligence, federated learning is a very attractive way of enabling data sharing in a privacy preserving manner. Clients in a federated learning network never access data from other clients directly and they model parameters they receive are formed from data aggregates. However, under certain conditions the models … Read more
[MSc] In this project, you will first generate a database of cloth simulation for a single character performing a large range of motions, from a mocap database. You will use a commercial cloth simulation software to create the deformations (e.g., Houdini, Maya, UE4 cloth etc.). Then, the idea is to create a neural network that … Read more

*Unfortunately I am at capacity for 25-26 and am unable to take on any more project supervision * Smartwatches are increasingly used to track a variety of health-related data, but the focus is mainly on automated tracking. This project will investigate different modalities for entering self-tracking information via smartwatch. The project will suit better students … Read more
The Zebra Puzzle is a well-known constraint satisfaction problem that ChatGPT knows about. But can ChatGPT solve the puzzle or problems like it step by step in accordance with the rules of logic? The aim of this project is to investigate how far ChatGPT is able to reason about such problems, and how ideas such … Read more
[FYP level] In this project, the student will run a number of experiments investigating perception of faces and facial expressions on realistically rendered and toon-rendered virtual faces. A large part of the work will be generating the stimuli, which will be done using a combination of Maya, Marmoset Toolbag, Mudbox, and Russian3DScanner. This project is … Read more
