Innovation Insight Podcast

In this webinar Patrick Barrett talks about Agri-Digitalisation in Ireland, the ecosystem which exists in Ireland to foster and support Agri-Digitalisation, and the Future of Agri-Digitalisation in Ireland. Patrick has a Degree in Biochemistry from NUIG as well as a Masters in Biological Sciences from DCU. In his current role within the Department of Food and Marine he oversees the Agri-Digitalisation of Agriculture in Ireland. First aired 8 June 2020

In this webinar, the design and implementation of an Internet of Bio-NanoThings concept named PANACEA is presented as a solution to the problem of early detection and mitigation of infections. PANACEA aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies in the cyber and physical domains to provide unprecedented sensing, monitoring, and drug-delivery capabilities to address ongoing bacterial infections. First aired 12 Jun 2020

In this webinar, Grainne Dilleen, PhD student and Communications and Dissemination Manager of DEMETER, presents her research to date. Funded by the DEMETER project, Grainne is undertaking a PhD to determine the farmer's decision-making process when adopting smart farming technologies (SFT). These technologies have been identified as a means of increasing agricultural sustainability. However, the SFT adoption rate on EU farms is lower than other markets. In her presentation, Grainne outlines the main internal and external factors which impact farmers' adoption of such SFT. 

In this Webinar, Dave Hearne, Senior UX and Designer and Developer at Walton Institute, shows us the tools he uses when hosting online collaborative workshops. The main tool he demonstrates is Mural, a collaborative whiteboard tool. 

This webinar focuses on the GLADIATOR project. GLADIATOR envisions to establish a radical long-term vision leading to a drastic change in cancer monitoring and therapy. It will usher in a paradigm shift in Oncology, with the introduction of "bio-nano-machine diagnostics", and stimulate the implementation of the "Internet of Nano-bio-things", leading to technological and clinical developments with high socioeconomic impact. In this project the role of the team at Walton Institute is to develop an end to end molecular communication system for inter-cellular communication among brain cells. It is expected that the project’s results will substantially improve patient prognosis and prolong survival by minimizing recurrences and reducing drug toxicity.

In this webinar, Dr Dixon Vimalajeewa presents research on Respiratory Virus Propagation Modelling, using SARS COVID-2 as a case study, at Walton's Research & Innovation Forum in December 2020. This is a collaborative research project between Walton Institute (formerly TSSG), UCD, and Teagasc.

This webinar is hosted by Mauro Conti, a Full Professor with the University of Padua, Italy. Prof Conti is also affiliated with TU Delft and the University of Washington, Seattle. His research is funded by companies, including Cisco, Intel, and Huawei. His main research interests include the areas of security and privacy.

In this webinar Ethan Cleary talks about how the IFA is assisting farmers across Ireland to access the digital skills and technologies they need to participate in the digital economy. Ethan is an experienced IT strategist & product manager who has worked with the IFA for over 10 years. His current role involves developing EU agricultural technology policy and exploring ways to build S&T policy capacity in the EU and Ireland.

Philip O’Brien and Gary McManus present the FAITH project as well as some research areas they have incorporated into recent proposals. These include federated learning, natural language processing, and explainable AI.

This webinar is about Leveraging Energy Flexibility and the Smart Grid. piSCES is an Interreg Ireland Wales funded programme and is working with marine industries to optimise their flexible loads against available renewable energy and time of use market tariffs.

This is a Webinar hosted by Dr Alberto Huertas Celdran and Sergio Lopez Bernal in which they talk about Cyber Security and Cyber Security for Brain Computer Interfaces.

In this Webinar Karina Pierce hosts a panel discussion with Kevin Doolin, Walton Institute, Patrick Barrett, The Department of Food and Marine, and Ethan Cleary, IFA. The panel will cover some questions that the webinar attendees had around Agri-Digitalisation in Ireland and the opportunities that exist for farmers.

The podcast is presented by Dr Josep Jornet who is part of a series of International Guest Webinars hosted by the Walton Institute. The podcast is based around genomic interfaces.

This episode focuses on the MELD project webinar which took place in December 2020. Walton's MELD project builds upon a trial for early lameness detection on a farm in South East Ireland, and extends and integrates this deployment into the IoF2020 Trials. Early lameness detection is a considerable problem in the dairy industry. It causes pain and discomfort for the cow, while lowering fertility and milk yield for the farmer. This trial deployed on a farm with 150 cattle, utilises leg mounted sensors and Machine Learning for early lameness detection.

Podcast moderated by David Ryan. This episode is based around Future Energy Sharing, Communities and the Cloud from an Irish and EU perspective. Multiple talks 10-15 mins long with Q & A session at the end.

Presented by Stephen Barnes who is part of the TSSG Technology Gateway , This episode of the Innovation Insight podcast is based around new emerging technologies such as Augmented/Virtual Reality at the Walton Institute. It is followed by a Q&A session at the end.
