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.

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.
