[Taken] Visualization of at risk coastal regions

Coastal areas are at high risk from storms and associated flooding and erosion. This risk is projected to increase due to climate change. At the same time, many coastal natural features act as natural buffers in that they either divert or reduce flood waters or the energy of waves travelling towards the coast. There are … Read more

Sustainable food production: Using statistical modelling to assess the impact of climate on yield production across multiple harvests of an agricultural ecosystems

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. An agricultural experiment was carried out across multiple sites in Europe. At each site, species diversity was manipulated agronomic grassland plots, and the yield was recorded across multiple harvests. The climatic conditions vary considerably across the sites where the experiments were … Read more

Quantum Information Science

Background I’m happy to consider compelling project proposals that involve hardware, networking, security or wireless technologies. Ideally they will be well aligned with my research interests. In recent years students have worked on projects in security and crypto, VPNs, homomorphic encryption, Vehicular Networking, Distributed online control, Underwater communications, music visualisation and some fundamental Quantum Communication … Read more

Coastal Erosion Prediction Using Functional Data Regression

Coastal erosion, defined as the loss of coastal lands due to the net removal of material near the shoreline, poses significant hazards to people, infrastructure, the environment, and cultural heritage. The coast is a critical junction for environmental settings, human activities, infrastructure, and sensitive ecosystems, making coastal erosion a pressing concern. Ireland’s coastline features both … Read more

Taken – Revisiting the SEAI Survey of Irish Attitudes to Wind and Solar Power

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) commissioned a national survey of the attitudes of people who live near to 50 new commercial solar or wind farm projects in Ireland. The survey was conducted in 2022. Findings of the survey are available at: https://www.seai.ie/community-energy/enabling-framework/impacts-research/index.xml The data are available through ISSDA: https://www.ucd.ie/issda/data/seaiattitudeswindsolarpower/. This project aims to … Read more
