Dr. Diarmuid Grimes
CRT in AI Supervisor
My research interests are mainly around the application of machine learning techniques and optimisation technologies to real-world problems. Previous sample domains include the energy sector (minimisation of consumption/costs in residential/industrial settings), and transport sector (condition-based maintenance for trains, scheduling urban rail fleets, etc).
I have secondary interests around cybersecurity, in particular applied cryptography and fraud/anomaly detection.

Profile: Dr Ignacio Castineiras is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the Cork Institute of Technology, where he teaches a variety of modules in Big Data at BSc and MSc level. He received a BSc (2007), MSc (2009), MEd (2011) and PhD (2014) in Computer Science at Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. He is an Associate Investigator at the SFI CONNECT Centre for Future Networks and Communications. He collaborates in the SEAI R&D project SMARTeBuses on the implementation of sustainable and efficient electric transportation networks. He supervises a PhD student on the design and development of a a decentralised framework for dynamic ridesharing in Smart Energy Communities. He has previously worked in different R&D projects at EU and national level on the modelling and solving of real-world combinatorial optimisation problems. He acts as student mentor for the MTU Programming Society – IEEE Student Branch and the MTU Innovation Challenge.
