2025 Postdoctoral Research Presentations
Dr Celia Hughes | Designing polymeric aortic heart valves
Dr Hughes’ research focuses on developing polymer-based heart valves for treating aortic stenosis - a condition where the valve between the heart’s main pumping chamber and the aorta becomes thickened and narrowed, restricting blood flow.
Dr Ekaterina Koroteeva | Multi-wavelength pulsed LED system
Dr Koroteevas' work focuses on developing advanced laser-free optical systems for visualising fluid motion, based on time-staggered pulsed RGB LED illumination.
Dr Deirdre O'Regan | AI Teaching Assistant for Motion Picture Engineering
Funded by the HEA Human Capital Initiative (HCI) Computational and Data-Centric Engineering Programme, the goal of the project was to understand whether this AI-TA would benefit students in a meaningful way versus existing commercial Large Language Models (e.g. ChatGPT).
Dr Irina Munina | Designing antennae for complex mechanical systems
Dr Munina collaborated with the Irish advanced manufacturing company iSentioLabs, working on developing wireless technologies that support more sustainable manufacturing processes
