Project Title
Prediction of long-term clinical risk from psychosis using multi-modal machine learning.
Project Overview
sychosis, a severe mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality, often delays
P
treatment by six months to a year, underscoring the need for improved detection and intervention.
Affected conditions include schizophrenia and severe mood disorders. Existing detection models
primarily use single-source data (e.g., behavior, genetics, or neuroimaging). Although effective in
controlled settings, these models struggle to translate into real-world clinical practice due to several
factors.
esearch Objectives
R
The central goal is to develop a user-centred machine learning model to assess mental health risk.
This model will incorporate multimodal data streams, including available clinical data, behavioural
patterns and self-reported state with the aim of exceeding the current benchmarks of predictive
performance. A secondary goal is to assess feasibility and acceptability of this model among
individuals with psychosis and clinical professionals. The research will be conducted in
collaboration with clinical partners at the Dublin & East Treatment & Early Care Team, a specialist
service that supports individuals experiencing distressing perceptual disturbances. This setting will
provide access to existing datasets to support model development.
his scholarship intersects three core research themes: AI, Human-Computer Interaction, and Digital
T
Health. It has the potential to positively impact psychosis treatment and will directly foster a new
collaboration between the School of Computer Science, the School of Psychology, and DETECT.
Additionally, it will provide vital data and partnerships to pursue further grants. If awarded, we will
apply for the Irish Research Council PhD scheme in October 2025, returning any unused funds.

Project Title
Designing neural network architecture and representations to solve discrete optimisation problems
Project Overview
ombinatorial optimisation problems arise naturally in many areas of computer science and other
C
disciplines, such as business analytics, operations research, bioinformatics and electronic
commerce. Since many of these optimisation problems are NP-hard, applications typically rely on
meta-heuristic frameworks, approximation algorithms and carefully designed heuristics for specific
instance classes to solve them efficiently. However, the resultant solutions can be very far from
optimal and the development of good algorithms often require significant human effort. The goal of
this PhD project is to augment the human ability to design good algorithms and data structures by
using machine learning techniques to explore the search space efficiently. Specifically, we would like
to explore the design of neural network architecture and representations to solve discrete
optimisation problems, such as those arising in the context of graphs and geometry. The
representations should ideally generalise the known approximation algorithms for classical
problems.

Project Title
Unlocking Parliamentary Data with Large Language Models
Project Overview
arliaments are fundamental to modern democracies, yet citizens often find it challenging to keep
P
track of their activities. Although open-access data policies aim to promote transparency, the sheer
volume of information and the limitations of existing user interfaces often prevent the public from
fully benefiting from these initiatives. This project aims to address these challenges by integrating
large-scale, open-access parliamentary data with the latest advancements in large language models
(LLMs), with the core goal of enhancing transparency around parliamentary activities. The methods
developed during the project will enable users to perform natural language queries on parliamentary
data, simplifying the process of finding information relevant to their interests in specific topics and
policy areas. To maintain the integrity of the information provided, key objectives of the project will
include: 1) mitigating the risk of potential "hallucinations," where responses may appear coherent but
are factually incorrect or nonsensical; and 2) supporting verification by explaining responses through
the citation of relevant sources in the original data. The project will also involve collaborating with
political scientists at the UCD Connected_Politics Lab to ensure that the project’s outputs can
facilitate greater transparency and accessibility, allowing the public to engage more effectively with
parliamentary activities.

Graph-based Recommender System
Project Overview
ecommender systems play an instrumental role in enhancing user experience across various
R
e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, etc., by suggesting relevant content, products, or
services. Recent advances in graph-based recommender systems have demonstrated excellent
performance by capturing intricate relationships and interactions among users, items, and
contextual information. This proposal aims to investigate and develop novel graph-based
approaches that capture and integrate user dynamic behaviours. The research seeks to bridge gaps
in scalability, recommendation performance, and explainability, enabling a new generation of
personalized/non-personalized and interpretable recommender systems, which will contribute to
both academia and industry by pushing the boundaries of recommender system capabilities.

Project Title
Large Language models for Recommender Systems
Project Overview
his project aims to exploit the extraordinary ability of large language models to improve the
T
performance of recommender systems. Recommender systems try to learn user preferences so
they can suggest an item or service which the user will prefer. However, in many situations,
additional contextual information about the user preferences is missing. Large language models are
good at generating synthetic information which can be used to augment the training data for
recommender systems. This LLM augmented data can enhance the personalisation of
recommender systems, improve the training time and increase the performance. This research
project will examine ways to enhance knowledge graph structures which can be exploited by the
recommender system to improve its performance. Some knowledge of recommender systems and
large language models is desirable.

Project Title
Novel Drug Creation Using Evolutionary Computation
Project Overview
rotein design and discovery is the foundation of many medical advances, from drug and MRI
P
contrast design, to creating proteins for cellular reprogramming. Recent advances in structural
protein prediction have enabled rapid design of proteins with desired structural properties. However,
understanding how to design proteins with specific functional or multi-functional properties is not
well-understood. This is critically important for smaller proteins – peptides – where there is little to
no secondary/tertiary structure to predict. This project aims to broaden the scope of Evolutionary
Computation (EC) based Machine Learning in the area of peptide/protein design. EC based protein
design differs from Protein Language Model (PLM) approaches as improved, novel peptides can be
discovered with very few examples. This is crucially important peptides, such as anti-cancer
peptides, will be novel and very few will exist, therefore building a large library, necessary to train a
PLM, is unfeasible. This will be achieved by accelerating directed evolution of active variants via the
creation of new software tools and other related tools that will allow multi-functional computational
modeling to be an essential part of targeting different protein/peptide functions. The overall goal of
the project will be to create state-of-the-art ML algorithms for multi-functional peptide prediction.

Project Title
Abstention and Explanation of Classification of Images
Project Overview
bstention of prediction and explanation of the reason for abstention is a very important field, which
A
is more relevant as mode AI systems become a part of our day to day life.
Classification models can make predictions if a datapoint is from a class or another. Such models
are used in many practical and often critical applications. Sometimes it is better not to predict the
class of a datapoint because it is ambiguous with respect to the models, so that the decision can be
left to the human experts. To assist the human experts it would be also beneficial to explain why the
model did not predict and consider the datapoint ambiguous, give generated examples of what
changes to the datapoint would have made the model to confidently predict that datapoint, etc.
This project will focus on the image domain to develop methods which can abstain from prediction
which it is not confident, provide explanation of the reason for abstention, as well as provide robust
counter-factual and semi-factual explanation datapoints which avoids ambiguous regions.
The overall high level objectives of the project are:
1. Generate a robust image classification system to identify ambiguous regions and quantify it
2. Use this to abstain from prediction
3. Generate visual examples (counterfactual/semi-factual, saliency maps) to explain why the
abstention was done"

Project Title
AI for mining, forecasting, and explaining public opinion using social media polls
Project Overview
ublic opinion is traditionally measured via surveys, but they often result in biased estimates of
P
public opinion. Recently, other sources of information about public opinion rose in prominence:
nearly a million informal polls are published on social media platforms each month. While social
media polls tend to be more biased than traditional polls, these biases can be corrected. Our prior
works show that bias-corrected social polls are more accurate in estimating popular support for the
US presidential elections of 2016, 2020, and 2024 than traditional polls (see socialpolls.org).
he key objective of the project is to develop and evaluate the next generation of AI-powered
T
methods to infer and explain the dynamics of public opinion based on social media polls. The project
will develop and apply machine learning methods to infer attributes of users interacting with such
polls, including age, gender, ethnicity, and partisanship. Then, the project will generate insight into the
dynamics of public opinion on politically-relevant topics including: elections in multiple countries,
such as the US, the UK, and India; and emerging issues of interest, such as support for military aid to
Ukraine. The research will involve development of LLM-based systems for classification of polls,
multimodal neural networks for user attribute classification, and (deep) autoregressive models
forecasting election outcomes. The project will result in a groundbreaking data repository that will
enable multiple areas of downstream research in various domains and will involve collaboration with
world-class researchers from the US and Europe.

Project Title
Quantum Machine Learning
Project Overview
nderstanding how and when to leverage machine learning for and/or with quantum computing is
U
still in its infancy. Machine learning can be used to optimize quantum algorithms, and quantum
computing can be used to develop new machine learning algorithms. This project will explore one of
these directions (depending on the interest of the candidate). In quantum machine learning, i.e. using
quantum computers to develop new machine learning methods, there are many challenges to solve:
how to prepare data, developing new methods, interpreting the output of the quantum computer,
handling error/noise etc. Similarly, when applying machine learning methods to quantum problems
(e.g. controlling quantum systems, quantum error mitigation, quantum optimisation etc.) the
challenge is to balance a rich understanding of the quantum system(s) with sufficient machine
learning expertise to develop toolkits of value to the domain. Thus, the purpose of this PhD topic is to
generate valuable tools and methods to further the understanding of where machine learning and
quantum computing can benefit each other and identify meaningful application areas.

UANTUM-MIRROR: AI-Enhanced Multi-Layer Secure Quantum Network with Digital
Q
Twin Integration
Project Overview
his research project aims to revolutionize quantum network management through an
T
advanced digital twin ecosystem. The system architecture integrates three cutting-edge
elements: quantum network infrastructure, comprehensive digital twin simulation, and
artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced real-time optimization, creating an unprecedented level
of network visibility and operational control in quantum systems.
The core innovation lies in our novel approach to quantum network management through an
intelligent digital twin framework. Our system creates a complete virtual replica of the
quantum network, including quantum repeater nodes, quantum memories, and entanglement
distribution channels. This digital twin, powered by deep learning and reinforcement learning
algorithms, enables unprecedented capabilities: real-time simulation of quantum state evolution,
predictive analysis of network behaviour, and optimization of quantum routing protocols. The
system maintains a dynamic model of critical parameters, including entanglement fidelity,
decoherence rates, and quantum state transfer efficiency, enabling proactive network management
and resource optimization.
The project will deliver a proof of concept demonstrating: (1) A comprehensive digital twin
platform that mirrors and predicts quantum network behaviour in real-time, (2) An AI-driven
optimization system for quantum network operations, including automated resource
allocation and protocol selection, and (3) A scalable virtual testing environment for future
quantum network protocols and technologies. This innovative approach enables network
operators to visualize, optimize, and manage complex quantum networks through an intuitive digital
interface. The technology has immediate applications in quantum internet
development, distributed quantum computing, and quantum network research, positioning us at the
forefront of quantum network management technology.

Increasingly, human lives are affected by automated decision-making in various domains. These
range from allocative decisions such as loan-appraisal or parole risk assessment to representational
decisions such as image tagging in cultural contexts. These decisions have the potential to be
ethically unsound, and therefore must be detected and computed accordingly. The development of
ethical artificial agents is a multi-disciplinary endeavour, which requires a good understanding of
philosophical tenets of good judgement, as well as the ability to forecast implications of decisions
on various stakeholders. Examples such as Pro-Social Rule Bending and Virtue Ethics demonstrate
why simplistic decision mechanisms such as utility functions and rule-based decisions are grossly
insufficient. Deliberate decisions of pro-social rule-bending underscore the intricate nature of ethical
choices in real-world scenarios.
This research will look at multi-agent simulations of decisions made by autonomic systems, and try
to compute whether ethical values of stakeholders are violated, and to what extent. The research will
aim to identify robust mechanisms of decision-making as well as rigorous mechanisms of validating
such decisions. Integrating such decision-making abilities into socio-technical systems will also
require the application of software engineering principles.

Adaptive Sensory Environments in XR: Leveraging Real-Time Feedback with Diffusion Models
Project Overview
xtended Reality (XR) technologies have demonstrated significant potential in healthcare,
E
particularly in reducing pain through immersive distraction techniques. Building on this foundation,
this research investigates the integration of XR with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) to create
adaptive sensory environments. The primary focus will be on sensory sensitivities, such as those
experienced by individuals on the autism spectrum, by dynamically adjusting visual stimuli in
response to real-time feedback. By leveraging XR’s HMD’s sensor capabilities and the adaptability of
BCIs, the project seeks to extend the benefits of XR to healthcare, training, and entertainment
applications.
The proposed system employs an XR HMD to overlay augmented visuals onto the real world while a
BCI monitors user states, such as stress or discomfort. Inspired by advancements in diffusion
models, such as those demonstrated in "Oasis Minecraft AI" and "Gamengen"—where real-time
diffusion models generated versions of Minecraft and Doom—this research aims to take a similar
approach using diffusion models The system iteratively modifies the visual environment by
dimming bright areas or reducing visual noise to optimise user comfort and sensory experience.
he PhD aims to research how such an XR system could be created that can cater to diverse
T
sensory requirements. The ultimate objective is to develop an adaptive, inclusive XR experience that
improves quality of life for users.

Adaptive Bit Allocation for Robust Proactive Deepfake Defense
Project Overview
he rise of Deepfake (DF) technology has enabled the creation of highly realistic manipulated
T
content, raising concerns about its misuse for misinformation and fraud. To address these issues,
two main defense methods have emerged: Passive Deepfake Detection (PD) [1] and Proactive
Deepfake Defense (PDD) [2]. PD helps to mitigate damage but is unable to fully eliminate it. In
contrast, PDD focuses on preventing DF creation at the source that can be divided into two main
categories: Disruption and Watermarking. [2] shows that while current PDD methods show
effectiveness, their success rate drops significantly when watermarked images modified. [3]
introduces adaptive blind watermarking, which can detect relative positions in the image adaptively,
even when face images undergo slight modifications. However, existing methods face challenges,
including limited bit length that may not suffice for identifying content associated with specific
models. Therefore, this research aims to develop adaptive bit allocation techniques that dynamically
adjust the number of embedded bits based on content complexity. This research focuses on the
following questions:
1. How can image entropy, texture analysis, and edge detection be effectively integrated to assess
content complexity?
2. What methods can be dynamically allocated bits across different regions, ensuring both optimal
watermark strength and minimal distortion in high-detail areas?
3. How can adaptive bit allocation be implemented in a computationally efficient manner for
large-scale applications, such as social media platforms?

Privacy preserving techniques for large languages Models (LLMs)
Project Overview
rivacy preserving techniques for large languages Models (LLMs)
P
The rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) in sensitive domains such as healthcare,
finance, and personal communication has raised significant concerns about user privacy. These
models, trained on massive datasets, often capture and potentially memorize sensitive information,
creating risks of unintended leakage during inference or when accessed by adversaries. For
instance, LLMs used in medical diagnosis might reveal patient-specific information, while those
applied in financial settings could expose confidential transaction details. The primary goal of this
research is to explore and develop effective privacy-preserving mechanisms tailored for LLMs,
ensuring secure AI deployment.
Research Objectives:
• Conduct a comprehensive analysis of potential privacy vulnerabilities, including data leakage,
inference attacks, and model exploitation.
• Evaluate the impact of existing privacy-preserving techniques on these vulnerabilities.
• Design an efficient privacy preserving approaches for LLM considering advanced
cryptographic methods such as homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, and
differential privacy.
• Optimize the balance between privacy guarantees and model utility for LLM.

Novel Dataset & Framework for Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection in Software-Defined
A
Networking
Project Overview
he aim of this project is the development an efficient anomaly-based Intrusion Detection System
T
(IDS) for enhancing Software-Defined Networking (SDN) security. Leveraging Deep Learning (DL)
algorithms, the proposed IDS will offer a flexible, robust solution for modern attack detection within
SDN environments, a crucial element to ensure more widespread adoption of SDN as the dominant
networking model. The main objective is to create a lightweight DL-based attack detection and
mitigation framework, capable of classifying network attacks as anomalies in SDN environments.
This will require a comprehensive SDN-specific dataset that accurately reflects real-world conditions.
While previous work by the UCD team has focused on virtual SDN attack datasets, this project seeks
to overcome the shortcomings of existing datasets by developing a new, publicly available,
real-world dataset to enhance collaborative research in this underserved domain. To achieve this, the
project proposes the construction of a hybrid virtual-physical testbed that connects physical hosts
and infrastructure to virtual networks, replicating real-world architectures. High granularity standard
network traffic will be captured directly within the network and via the SDN controller Southbound
Interface (SBI) API. Normal and attack traffic will be simulated and captured, including new
SDN-specific attack types such as Controller Spoofing and Communication Channel Eavesdropping.

Sustainable Security
Project Overview
yberphysical systems (CPS), integrating software, hardware, and human operators, are increasingly
C
vulnerable to security threats due to misconfigurations, third-party vulnerabilities, and human error.
These vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the dynamic nature of CPS, making it challenging to
maintain security. This proposal seeks to address the critical gap between attack detection,
diagnosis, and mitigation to improve the resilience and sustainability of CPS security.
roblem Statement
P
Current security approaches for CPS are siloed, with limited integration between detection,
diagnosis, and mitigation. While anomaly detection techniques can identify previously unknown
attacks, they fall short in diagnosing attack types or automatically applying appropriate security
controls. Penetration testing, though effective, is often impractical for live systems such as smart
homes and lacks adaptability to runtime-detected anomalies. Moreover, evolving system
configurations introduce new security requirements that traditional methods fail to manage
effectively. Addressing these challenges requires innovative solutions to bridge these gaps while
sustaining human engagement and measuring security performance.
esearch Objectives
R
Integrated Attack Management: Develop a framework that seamlessly integrates attack detection,
diagnosis, and automated mitigation, enabling dynamic and informed responses to evolving threats.
Evolving Security Requirements: Create logic-based learning mechanisms, such as inductive
learning, to adapt security policies and requirements in response to system configuration changes.
Human–Machine Collaboration: Design human-centered security interfaces that enhance situational
awareness and promote stakeholder engagement across various expertise levels.
Sustainable Security Metrics: Define and measure sustainable security by evaluating system
robustness, stakeholder participation, and user experience.

LLM@Edge: Optimized Deployment of Large Language Models on Distributed Edge Systems
Project Overview
eploying Large Language Models (LLMs) across distributed edge systems presents opportunities
D
for enabling low-latency, energy-aware, and scalable AI applications. However, the inherent resource
constraints and heterogeneity of edge nodes introduce significant challenges in ensuring efficient
execution, particularly for compute-intensive models like LLMs. This research project addresses
these challenges by leveraging distributed systems principles, focusing on resource scheduling and
orchestration mechanisms, to optimize LLM deployment and operation in edge environments.
This project considers distributed deployment frameworks to partition LLMs into lightweight
components for execution on edge nodes, reserving more complex computations for cloud
backends or higher-capacity nodes. Dynamic resource scheduling mechanisms will allocate edge
resources based on workload characteristics, device capabilities, network conditions, and
energy-aware metrics. The geo-distribution of edge nodes must be considered for context-sensitive
scheduling and place tasks closer to data sources or end-users. The resource scheduling must also
optimize the carbon footprint of LLM operations by allocating tasks to energy-efficient nodes or
renewable energy-powered regions to minimize environmental impact. In addition, robust
orchestration mechanisms are critical for overcoming the scalability challenges of dynamic
workloads in distributed LLM deployments. These mechanisms will leverage container orchestration
platforms (e.g., Kubernetes) for dynamic placement, serverless orchestration frameworks for
event-driven scaling across the edge-cloud continuum, and workflow orchestration tools to
coordinate multi-step LLM processes.
This project unlocks the potential of LLMs in real-world applications, including smart cities,
healthcare, and IoT ecosystems.
