Getting mobile, energy constrained, wireless devices and systems to meaningfully communicate, and to reliably and securely transmit and route data to each other, can be extremely difficult. Devices have to be in physical communication range, need to know how to autonomously discover each other, negotiate and agree on common purpose and goals. I have been active in constrained communications and the Internet of Things for more than two decades[9-12,15,19,62] and have contributed some fundamental open source platforms and systems[10,48,51,55] that remain in active use today. I have targeted fundamental communication and online control challenges in autonomous vehicles (terrestrial, drones and underwater) and for offshore wind and wave energy devices[9,12,15,21,27,31,35]. My research in cryptography was catalysed by the need to robustly secure these new online control and actuation metaphors I created. Homomorphic Encryption (HE) primitives enable operations to be carried out on encrypted data (ciphertext), generating an encrypted result which, when decrypted, is equivalent to the result of performing the same operations on the original text. My attribute based formulations uniquely enable selectivity in the access and operations on the ciphertext[2-8,28]. This approach removes the need for expensive interactions with centralised key infrastructures and, implicitly, ameliorates privacy and data compromise concerns[20,24]. Recently I have extended focus to quantum cryptography, informed by my HE work, and also to investigating how and where fundamental transforms, and their generalisations, find expression and purpose in a quantum information science setting. A desire to understand how students learn, and how to best communicate complex networking and cryptography concepts, inspires and informs my research in STEM Education[16-18,22,33,45,47,58-61]. This has resulted in my research-led modules and course conceptualisations being adopted internationally e.g. in Stanford and UCLA. It complements my more technical research activities and is an integral part of me being an academic, and indeed to being a Fellow - to "foster scholarship, research and teaching". My standing, and internationally adopted contributions and innovations, has led to an invited Visiting Professor position in UCLA (then a top 10 Computer Science Department globally), Vice Chair roles on EC funding award programmes, and regular expert, speaker and international funding review invitations. I am a recipient of an Irish "Champion of EU Research" award. Beyond this strong recognition of my international standing, my activities are highly aligned with TCD's research themes, core values and intrinsic purpose, and more broadly with Irish and EC strategic priorities in research and scholarship. I have been PI on two EC MSCA grants and coordinated one; I have also been funded by both Enterprise Ireland and SFI. My grant involvement to date has been ~€5.6M, of which I am directly responsible for winning ~€1.73M. My h-index is 16, and my works have attracted over 1000 citations. I have published 1 edited volume, 5 book chapters, 11 journal papers, and 50 peer reviewed conference papers. Much of my more recent work is substantive and significant in Computer Science terms, with small author sets, high rigour, intricate complexity and clear originality and contribution.

  TinyTorrents - An efficient, scalable, robust, co-operative infrastructure providing global accessibility to local wireless sensornet information
  Summary

  Wireless sensor functionality is predominantly constrained by sensor size and battery life considerations. Existing sensornet frameworks e.g. Deluge, are designed for specific purposes, such as sensor code update. TinyTorrents proposes a unique architectural platform which makes sensor data promptly, transparently and globally available using trackerless, co-operative Peer to Peer concepts. A key element of TinyTorrents will be the modelling and integration of wireless Quality of Service Active Queue Management functionality together with accurate power consumption and transmission characterisation. Sensors will be able to request prioritisation for "important" data subject to prevailing framework constraints.

  Wireless Active Queue Management: A Robust, Scalable Approach using Control Theory.
  Summary

  Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques have been successfully incorporated into existing Internet routers to signal dynamically congestion to sources on fixed networks. The increasing proliferation of mobile devices has created a growing awareness of the need for wireless AQM schemes. However, wireless links have intrinsic characteristics that invalidate the underlying assumptions of fixed infrastructure AQM. This project proposes to advance the theoretical understanding of the fundamental issues involved in wireless AQM. This knowledge will then be used to design and implement new, highly efficient Active Queue Management schemes for the wireless environment.

  ICONN
  Summary

  ICONN is a unique European Industrial Doctorate initiative to meet the current and future demand for highly skilled offshore wind and wave energy engineers by developing and advancing European capacity in the design, development and performance optimisation for Offshore Wind and Wave Energy installations. The initiative is strongly shaped by active participation from industries, and will develop and enhance European capacity in the offshore renewable energy area at a critical juncture in time when Europe strives to occupy a lead market position globally in this sector. The ICONN EID will i) provide state-of-the art training to Early Stage Researchers jointly with industries in the scientific and engineering disciplines of power take-off (PTO) and structural control, wave mechanics and hydrodynamics, CFD, sensing and system identification; ii) advance expertise, and research capacity, in the techno-economic-environmental factors that impact on the reliability and operational efficiency of offshore renewable energy installations; iii) instil business, management, entrepreneurship and innovation skills pertaining to offshore wind and combined wind-wave energy sector to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation; iv) promote clearly defined scientific dissemination, public outreach and commercialisation/IP agendas. The three scientific work packages, which scaffold the individual research activities, progress from addressing specific challenges and capability deficiencies that impede the effective and efficient deployment of offshore wind and wave infrastructures (floating systems and optimisation of power take-off (PTO) ) through to activities that seek to create, and innovate in, new control algorithms and in operational efficiency domain (fatigue control, new algorithms for control of PTO).
