Project TitleDescriptionFurther informationPrincipal Investigator
COMMON SENSE The COMMON SENSE project will contribute to support the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and other EU policies (e.g. Common Fisheries Policy), providing easily usable across several platforms, cost-effective, multi-functional innovative sensors to detect reliable in-situ measurements on key parameters by means of methodological standards. Website Professor Dermot Diamond
WIMB Development of Sustainable Interrelations between Education, Research and Innovation at WBC Universities in Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials where Innovation Means Business [WIMB].   Dr Dermot Brabazon
DREAM The scale and complexity of the modern manufacturing systems make essential the integration of predictive simulation modelling and optimisation methodologies into routine decision making processes. To address this challenge, DREAM will offer a radically new and extensible approach to simulation application engineering, leveraging state-of-the art research on simulation and simulation based optimization. Website Dr Paul Young
EXTATIC Extatic Erasmus Mundus Doctoral programme in EUV and X-Ray Training in Advanced Technologies for Interdisciplinary Cooperation. Website Professor John Costello

Professor Fiona Regan

Aquawarn The purpose of this project is to develop an innovative integrated deployable device for the detection of pollution in water using innovative, state-of-the-art microfluidic technology. Website Professor Dermot Diamond
Next Generation Biomimetic Analytical Platforms for environmental sensing (NAPES) This project will investigate ways to deliver revolutionary advances in liquid/sample handling combined with new approaches to performing sensitive in-situ analytical measurements.   Professor Dermot Diamond
REFINE: Renewable Functional Material-Training material scientist for a sustainable polymer industry (ITN) REFINE will develop sustainable routes to functional materials (green routes) for various polymer/plastic applications. Website Dr Andreas Heise
Safebag This project aims to develop a novel continuous in-pack decontamination system for fresh produce, by building on the results of past research that has been carried out by the Dublin Institute of Technology, whereby plasma technology has been effectively used for the in-pack decontamination of food products at laboratory scale. Website Dr Jean-Paul Mosnier
SLI-LABAT, Marie Curie IIF - Stagnation Layers in Laser Ablation Based Analytical Techniques The main objective of this proposal is to substitute the usual single plasma plume with a stagnation layer formed at the collision front between two counter-propagating plumes which can provide significantly greater species-of interest density, temperature, plume shape control.   Professor John Costello
Ultrafast Photonic Processes & Interactions -UPPI (IRSES) By establishing an EU-India research and education program designed to reinforce scientific and technological excellence in high speed and ultrafast photonic interactions and processes in systems from atomic ensembles to devices.   Dr Pascal Landais
UNION: Ultra-versatile Nanoparticle Integration into Organized Nanoclusters UNION will develop nanoparticle (NP) assembly techniques, and assembly monitoring technologies to prepare novel hierarchically-ordered nanoparticle clusters (NPCs). Website Dr Dermot Brougham
REMEDIATE The REMEDIATE ETN will focus on the provision of innovative research and training for more cost effective and sustainable remediation of contaminated land.   Dr Brian Kelleher
