This project focuses on the rich field of algorithmic fairness where the goal is to ensure that predictions are not biased against subgroups of the population whilst maximising predictive performance. One challenge is when we focus on multiple protected attributes.
**This project is for students in the Online Statistics & Data Science programme (M.Sc) only. No other student will be accepted for this project.** R Shiny apps are being used to enrich the teaching of statistics courses (Berkmann et al., 2025; Wang et al., 2021). These apps can provide students with an engaging and interactive experience. One popular app is Radiant … Read more
Currently, academics receive PDF copies of dissertations and assess these dissertations by reading them, grading various rubrics in evaluation forms, commenting on their views, and consulting with a 2nd examiner about an agreed mark. This project will investigate the development of a system that analyses submitted PDF copies with the help of Artificial Intelligence eg. … Read more
Kubernetes provides an orchestration and runtime system for micro-services based on containers. The implementation of this virtualised infrastructure is based largely on communication using TCP and HTTP. In contrast, current web browsers and web servers are using QUIC, HTTP/3 and WebTransport to communicate as well. This project will investigate the use of QUIC, HTTP3 and … Read more
**This project is for students in either the MSc in Statistics & Data Science (Online) or MSc in Statistics and Sustainability only. No other student will be accepted for this project.** The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) commissioned a national survey of the attitudes of people who live near to 50 new commercial solar … Read more
This project aims at using sports analytics models to optimise decision-making in Fantasy Football. By integrating data from multiple sources, including player performance metrics, historical game data, and injury reports, etc., and using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms you will predict player success and recommend optimal lineups.
The overall objective of this project is to explore rugby analytics with a focus on improving player performance and game strategies. The project will involve collecting and analysing data from rugby matches to identify key performance metrics, such as tackling efficiency, player positioning, and team dynamics – to provide insights that could help coaches and … Read more
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. The student must possess knowledge of numerical optimisation methods and linear programming techniques. This project aims to bridge the gap between human language and mathematical optimisation. By developing a method that translates natural language descriptions of process optimisation goals and constraints … Read more
Email is inherently a delay-tolerant application. However, modern email deployments involve online checks used by anti-spam mechanisms, non-standard UA/MS interactions, MFA client authentication and hop-by-hop encryption all of which can be problematic in the face of high delays or disruptions, and perhaps especially at scale. The scenario here is where we want to do email … Read more
