      I am working on finding out the least amount of pollutants that could be detected with the Raman spectroscopy technique using our instruments.

      I’m building a model of what the Dingle Peninsula energy system could look like in 2030 and 2050. Check out – https://www.marei.ie/dingle-peninsula-2030/#tab-id-2

      I’m working on how to make 3D printing easier to use for people who don’t know much about it so they can apply it for their products. Because 3D printing is so new, there can be different problems depending on which materials we use and how complex our designs are. We’re trying to understand these problems so we can solve them before they arise and speed up product development using 3D printing.

      Working with the Industry4.E Lighthouse project at the moment. My role is to write about the work that the group are doing and their project results, creating a website, a twitter account, information flyers, posters, and short reports.

      It is a group of European projects that all use a combination of new digital technologies to make factory machinery work better (more efficient and sustainable). Robotics, sensors (e.g. for heat, light, temperature, movement, etc), complex computer modelling, very accurate test simulations, 3D printing, and data analytics are used among other technologies.

      Sensors can detect issues with machinery before they break and will monitor every step of the product creation. This will help to create new products to the highest quality. This is great for us and the environment too.
