Study with Inspiring Academics
Dr. Peter Taylor
Assistant Professor at the Centre for Astrophysics and Relativity (CfAR), School of Mathematical Sciences
My research includes the problem of motion in General Relativity, including strong self-interaction effects. This is relevant for modelling binary black hole systems (where one black hole is much larger than the other). These systems are a key astrophysical source of gravitational waves and are being targeted by the European Space Agency's eLISA mission.
Dr. Pierangelo Rosati
Assistant Professor in Business Analytics, DCU Business School
I am working on a number of research projects on data analytics, business value of IT, FinTech, Blockchain, cloud computing, and cyber security. Many of these research projects are in direct collaboration with industry
Dr. Joss Moorkens
Assistant Professor, School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies
I publish, research and teach in the area of Translation - Translation technology; translation ethics; translation and sociology; machine translation; translation technology user studies for desktop and mobile; usability.
Dr. Paola Rivetti
Assistant Professor in Politics of the Middle East and International Relations, School of Law and Government
My interests include comparative politics, mobilisation, comparative governance and public policy, Middle East politics and Area studies.
Dr. Suzanne Little
Associate Professor, School of Computing
My interests include content-based analysis and indexing of digital multimedia - principally images and video - using computer vision, machine learning and related techniques. This can be for object or event detection, segmentation, classification and/or tracking. Example applications include surveillance, document reuse (eg, lectures), traffic or instrumented vehicles, smart cities, cultural heritage, sport or entertainment. I am also interested in the consequences of biased visual datasets and models.
