Evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation measures to deliver water quality improvements in agricultural catchments in Ireland
Phosphorus (P) pollution remains a major cause of surface water quality failures. Future climate and land use change are likely to impact P losses to running waters, however the relative balance between these drivers and the scale of future change is uncertain as is the effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures.

Towards in silico selection of interfacial actives: Discovery of new corrosion inhibitors for high value coating formulations
The goal is to discover new corrosion inhibitors that can be added to coatings for protection of metallic infrastructure. Initially, you will quantify two key performance indicators for candidate molecules, i.e., corrosion reduction and diffusion through the coating matrix. Read more
Early-stage failure prediction in fusion materials using machine learning
In fusion reactors, materials experience extreme temperatures, stresses, and radiation damage. Safe operation requires identification of deformation patterns that are early warning signs of materials failure. Read more
