Current Position(s):

  • Executive Director Research, Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG), Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT)
  • Research Director, Eugene Lawler Graduate School of Computing, Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT)
  • Director, Irish National IPv6 Centre (IPv6-Ireland.org)
  • Lecturer in the Department of Computing, Mathematics & Physics in Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT). Note: the department used to be called the "Department of Physical & Quantitative Sciences" often internally abbreviated to "P&Q".

Context for Position:

  • I am one of the co-founders of Telecommunications Software & Systems Group, a research centre in WIT. It has grown from around 5 people in 1996 to 120 in August 2008, spinning out companies employing a further 100-200 people, and has won over €45Million in funding from Irish and European funding agencies. Prior to taking over as Research Director my main areas of responsibility were in strategic infrastructure for the group and managing the research process for the research students in the TSSG. I have also been involved in commercial spin-off activities. For the academic years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 I have taken of as Research Director for the centre a role that involves managing the approximately 50 staff and students working on basic and applied research projects in the TSSG (the research half of the organisation as opposed to the commercialisation half).
  • In 2007 I was appointed as Research Director of the WIT Eugene Lawler Graduate School of Computing, that encompasses all taught and research postgraduate teaching and research in the department of Computing, Mathematics and Physics in Waterford Institute of Technology. This appointment was in recognition of the role I have played in the TSSG in establishing the taught programmes at Masters level and the MSc and PhD research process. The TSSG has graduated 30 MSc (research), and 3 PhD (research) students to date, and has contributed the major part of the MSc in Communications Software Development that has run for 4 academic years: 2005--2009.
  • I was a member of 2nd and 3rd Academic Councils in WIT (Jan 1998 to Apr 2004) and I served on the Research Subcommittee and the Support Committee.

Research Interests:

In general most of my research interests fall into the broad set of topics that relate to the future of the Internet and of telecommunications networks and services in general. The TSSG has positioned itself as one of the leading European research centres for research into these issues. It is interesting that some of the resulting research issues are very specific and focused (e.g. how to recover from a link going down in a specific system), others and higher level systems issues that deal with how various parts of larger systems interact with each other (e.g. how to create a quality of service system that might work across multiple network owners each with their own self-interests). Our research philosophy is to try and create an dynamic mix of interests, each with a critical mass of activities, and to allow them to cross-fertilise in a non-structured way. This mix includes getting people with an Internet/IP background and a telecommunication background, but also getting people with a basic research focus on fundamental issues, an applied problem solving focus on specific problems and an understanding of the industrial context, and a set of entrepreneurial people who can commercialise the best ideas, or introduce completely new ideas based on their own knowledge. I enjoy fostering this overall environment whilst pursuing my own specific Internet-related interests.

Primarily I am driven by a number of trends: the requirement to move the Internet to IPv6, the requirement to allow for increased mobility of devices, the requirement for networks and services to be more secure, and the requirement to create new mechanisms for managing large complex interconnected networks and services. I am also interested creating solutions to these problems that will actually be deployed and adopted, and not just talked about in the academic literature.

I also have a social science research interest in the funding structures nationally that help foster research and innovation, and in particular how these have developed in Ireland over the past 15 years.
