Biography
I am the Director of the Knowledge and Data Engineering Group (KDEG). I have been key the growth and development of this research group, which now totals 9 academics and over 50 postdocs and PhD students. I collaborate closely with other group academics in securing a growing portfolio of funding for the group and I have personally secured €5.4 Million in competitive research funding. I am a PI in CNGL Centre for Global Intelligent Content which is funded from the SFI Centres for Science Engineering and Technology (CSET) programme. CNGL is centred in KDEG and has received SFI funding for TCD and its collaborating institutions of over €50 Million over the last 7 years. I am also a PI in the ADAPT Centre, which is the successor to CNGL, and has just been awarded a further €23 Million funding from the SFI accompanied by €7.5 Million cash funding from industry. I have been active in developing KDEG's internal organisation to efficiently manage the steadily growing cohort of PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and research assistants, including the provision of seminar series, workshops, training, mentoring and commercialisation supports. I have led research teams in 9 EU and 7 Irish funded collaborative projects which involve: close collaboration with other TCD academics and international academic and industrial partners; formation and coordination of research plans; negotiation of and controlling expenditure within agreed budgets; and dealing effectively with sponsors. My research interest is in Management Knowledge, and how it can be captured, modelled, analysed and exchanged in decentralised decision-making settings. I have been responsible for several undergraduate (4ICT12, 3ICT1 and CS3BC2) and postgraduate (CS7009) taught modules and supervision of 6 undergraduate and 23 MSc dissertation projects. I have supervised 5 PhD students to completion, co-supervised 6 more and have 4 PhD student in progress currently.
