I coordinate the research and administration of many different research strands and pedagogic projects. I am supervising the development of transparent algorithms for electoral redistricting, and population density modelling so that infrastructure stresses may be anticipated and accommodated in advance rather than post-hoc. My team and I conduct research in the failures and potential exploits in political advertising, in the hopes they can be patched before being taken advantage of. I am also coordinating the creation of free mathematics resources for secondary school students, which use cutting edge animations and mathematics pedagogy research. Additionally, my team are also performing research into the risks of AI in the legal system and certain public sectors.

I'm co-founder and CEO of Éirigh, a non-profit company aimed at enriching Ireland's architectural landscape though a combination of AI in the design process, and a high-efficiency production-line methodology to dramatically cut costs. Ireland has never had the resources to engage in the kind of aestheticism other countries in history might have, plain to see in so many historical European cities. The Irish public is clearly underserved by this, as is Irish culture. While a romantic case can easily be made for pursuing gorgeous landscapes, pragmatically, however, the only way to make progress to put forward a cost-effective solution, ideally without a major enviromental impact. This is where we saw it fit to use generative AI to accelerate the design process, in combination with a high-throughout, largely automated production line. . The substrate for the mold is made of recycled wood and is itself again recyclable, and terracotta as a building material is abundant (it's just clay) and requires half the CO2 equivalent energy requirement of cement in its production. We also plan to fine-tuning the AI to will include, support, and amplify irish artists, rather than replace them.

My PhD started out studying graph & group-equivariant neural networks, aiming to systematically discover new materials under the supervision of Prof. Stefano Sanvito at TCD's CRANN Institute. My studies have since altered trajectory slightly into an area known as Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory. The central question of this field has been an open problem for the last 60 years. It is high-risk, high-reward. If progress can be made here, it will revolutionise materials discovery by dramatically accelerating it.
