We are developing a web‐based system for Python programming (called “Pytch”) that targets beginning programmers (see the screenshot below). Because the system is web based a lot of the work will involve JavaScript, TypeScript and React but it’s not necessary to have experience of these at the outset. We have a number of ideas for … Read more
Happy to discuss student generated ideas and proposals in the area of computers and sustainability and particularly education. Projects could include: Prior projects that have been supervised include: Interested in both Computational Sustainability and Green Computing
The sudden rise of adversarial examples (i.e., input points intentionally crafted so to trick a model into misprediction) has shown that even state-of-the-art deep learning models can be extremely vulnerable to intelligent attacks. Unfortunately, the fragility of such models makes their deployment in safety-critical real-world applications (e.g., self-driving cars or eHealth) difficult to justify, hence … Read more
Increasingly, patients gather data relevant to their care on their phones and via wearable or home-based sensors. But getting that data into a form that can be shared seamlessly with the healthcare system is a challenge. And clinicians have concerns about the quality of the data where it came from and to what extent they … Read more
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launched Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI), a KG is used to represent people, places, roles that appear in historical documents and their interconnection over the centuries.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
