Academic Achievements
- Published more than 40 scientific articles and holds 30 patents.
Research Experience
- Led the development of a decision support framework for aquaculture based on IoT sensors and petabyte-scale geospatial datasets; developed AI-based surrogate models for ocean processes; developed an advection-diffusion model (with data assimilation) within an advanced 'Exascale' programming environment; implemented data assimilation techniques to improve ocean modelling capabilities.
Education
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from National University of Ireland, Galway, and a chartered engineer.
Background
- A Research Scientist at IBM Research Europe - Ireland focused on applying technologies such as AI, hybrid cloud, accelerated discovery, and mathematical modelling to develop innovative solutions in practical settings. This includes combining high fidelity simulations and low-cost surrogate models, integrating sensor data from a variety of IoT platforms, developing AI-based models that extract value from sensor or expert data, and optimizing these tools for HPC and cloud-based platforms. A key research focus is deploying sophisticated and human-centered Digital Twin technologies to create virtual replicas of entities like environmental systems, ports and shipping, and commercial real estate.
