Writing an narrative academic CV is a wild experience of imposter syndrome meeting documented academic contributions. I'm glad it's Friday, because I'm going to need to sit down for a bit and think about what I've done.

In other news, I'm applying for my first Assistant Professorship. Wish me luck!
A screenshot of an excerpt from a word document. The text reads, "I have extensive experience delivering cutting-edge research in ambitious interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research projects. I have played a central (often leading) role in pioneering research across 9 European and Irish academic research projects (combined: €31.25M). I have led the technical research planning for 2 Horizon Europe funding applications (combined: €7M). I have designed and taught courses across 15 different subjects from undergraduate to masters, spanning computer science and the humanities (~3,500 students). My research and technical leadership were fundamental to the development of the multi-award winning Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, and the Knowledge Graph for Irish History."

A friend recently sent me a point cloud she generated of an 18th century Swedish tallship using LIDAR. I wanted to try converting it to a 3D mesh that we can use to build an immersive virtual experience. So here's a render I managed to generate of a rooster carved into the ship's hull #dh #blender
A 3D render of a small portion of a ship's hull. The paint is blue and gold. The texture of the surface is lumpy due to a noisy point cloud being used to generate the image. There is a detail of a rooster in gold carved prominently into the wood. A 3D render of a small portion of a ship's hull. The paint is blue and gold.

Hi folks! I'm a postdoctoral research fellow in the ADAPT centre in Dublin. Fundamentally I am interested in finding ways to make it as easy as possible for people find answers to questions. I currently help to combat disinformation, FIMI, and hate speech through the VIGILANT and ATHENA projects.
A photo of a man with a beard in an orange shirt delivering a talk. A presentation slide is visible on a television screen to the right. The content of the presentation slide is overexposed and cannot be read. The title of the slide reads "Goals". The VIGILANT logo is visible.
