Research/practice
I have been involved with many practice-based research projects through IADT. My current interests are in the design and development of simple, beautiful technology that empowers users.
Most recently, I completed an Erasmus+ project that enables migrants to upskill, integrate and set up their own business in Europe. The final output was the design, development and integration of a bespoke Virtual Learning Environment.
I am currently working on an Erasmus+ project that facilitates the integration of students in new European Countries through the design and development of a Progressive Web Application.

Design/UI/UX
I have completed a number (15+) of UI/UX projects primarily under the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Vouchers scheme.
In 2016 I worked with The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland to evaluate, test and prototype the redesign of a system used by General Practitioners in Ireland.
The project's outcome was published in 2016 IEEE 29th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS) and can be accessed Here.
