I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science and MIEC at Maynooth University. Before joining Maynooth, I was a Marie-Curie Research Fellow at Dublin City University. I completed my PhD under the Erasmus Mundus Fellowship and subsequently gained valuable experience working in the industry, focusing on Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI). I actively seek collaborations with industry partners to commercialise research and am the PI of the Enterprise Ireland recently funded project CasePal – Legal Research Redefined with AI (Grant No. CF20242382Y).
My research focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AI, with an interest in applying these technologies to address real-world challenges across various domains, including Law, Human Resources, Healthcare, and beyond. I am especially interested in Low-Resource NLP, where I develop advanced language models for under-resourced languages and domains. Additionally, I work on Multimodal AI, integrating text, images, and other data modalities to solve complex problems. My research also emphasises AI Ethics, ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in AI systems. I explore general NLP applications such as Machine Translation, Sentiment Analysis, Social Media Analytics, and Online Safety, as well as the domain-specific adaptation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for specialised fields like Health, Law, and Education.
