Individualised project in Wireless networking, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing (and associated application domains)

Meriel Huggard (email | all projects)

I am happy to supervise a project in all the areas of computer networking that I am interested in — wireless networking, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and in their application to a wide range of real world settings (healthcare, IoT, structural health monitoring). I am particularly interested in exploring some aspects of quantum computing; for … Read more

Crypto and Security – General

cmcgldrk (email | all projects)

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

Reconstructing Redacted Text Using A Tranformer LLM

Doug Leith (email | all projects)

Currently, the main method for enhancing the privacy of text is redaction i.e. masking out selected key words such as names, emails etc. While this is effective for removing obvious personally identifiable information, redacted text may potentially still leak textual patterns that can reveal authorship, sensitive topics (e.g. that the text relates to a medical … Read more

(TAKEN) Continue development of (parts of) an Internet scanning infrastructure tailored to Ireland

Stephen Farrell (email | all projects)

Scanning public-facing Internet services in order to detect security- and privacy-relevant patterns and problems is becomming well-trodden ground. Typical studies attempt Internet-scale IPv4 scans, e.g., to detect uses of outdated ciphers in uses of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. More local scans (e.g., https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/299) could however produce results that are easier to translate into … Read more

Compare censorship experienced in Ireland with another country

Stephen Farrell (email | all projects)

The project is to survey censorship measurement tools and data sets (e.g. https://ooni.org/ and similar), to compare and contrast those, and then use some subset of the identified tooling and data to compare the censorship situation for Internet users based in Ireland against the position of users based in some other country, to be agreed … Read more
