Goksu Yamac Goksu works under the supervision of Carol O’Sullivan and his research focuses on improving AR/VR experiences through the perceptual evaluation of human motion. He explores human motion and interactions with the virtual world to understand how more realistic and more efficient experiences can be developed for AR/VR platforms. This entails many sub-problems from developing task-specific action detection models to developing full-body motion synthesis models, and consequently evaluating these models perceptually through user studies.
Carol O'Toole Dr Carol O’Toole works in the Research Services team, working as the Research Integration Co-ordinator. This role involves working with researchers and academics from and across all Strands and from all of the ADAPT member institutions.
Alberto Poncelas Alberto is a postdoctoral researcher at ADAPT Centre. His research interests include Machine Translation and NLP. Currently he investigates the indirect translation in NMT. He hold a PhD in Machine Translation from Dublin City University and a M.Sc. in Machine Learning from the University of the Basque Country. He has also worked as a Software and Big Data Engineer.
Lauren Cassidy Lauren is doing a research masters in Natural Language Processing with a focus on developing technology and resources for for user generated content in Irish.
David Woods David is a PhD student with ADAPT at Trinity College Dublin under Dr Tim Fernando and Dr Carl Vogel. His current research revolves around developing methods for classifying and reasoning about events, in the context of intelligent systems. His interests are in using NLP and Computational Linguistics to improve AI-human interactions.
Albert Navarro Gallinad Albert Navarro Gallinad is a PhD student based at the ADAPT centre (TCD) and a Early Stage Researcher in the HELICAL project (MSCA-ITN). His principal research interests lie in the data aspects (suitability, access and retrieval) to support research in the environmental effects on human health. He is designing a series of steps to help health data researchers explore environmental data to understand and support rare chronic disease research..
Van-Tu Ninh Tu has been a PhD Candidate since 2019 at ADAPT under the supervision of Cathal Gurrin and his thesis is on Virtual Reality Mediated Stress Reduction and Habituation. At Dublin City University, he has worked with many other partner Universities to develop solutions and applications which support health monitoring and analysis via Lifelog Data. Currently, he focuses on Lifelogging Data Analytics and Information Retrieval to analyze stress patterns and applying Virtual Reality to help people reduce and habituate to stress. He is based in Dublin City University.
