I'll hopefully be adding some resources to promote interdisciplinary education in the coming months. Below you can see a Micro:bit, Kitronik board and EMG sensors being used to make a prosthetic hand that is controlled by straining your muscles. Micro:bit Educational Foundation Kitronik

It was fantastic to get the opportunity to discuss my research efforts at this year's SEFI Conference in Dublin. I appreciate all who took the time to visit our poster session SEFI HQ University Of Limerick IrishResearch - becoming Research Ireland

A useful analysis and commentary on the energy footprint of AI. Something we all need to be aware of as applications expand. This is one reason why we need to know the broader impacts and teach not only effective, but responsible usage. cell.com/joule/fulltext…

Last week I made a few disassembly boards, from old electronics, to promote active engagement from students during a lecture on sustainable design and product life-cycle. Might also be a beneficial idea for practising STEM educators. EPISTEM The E.T.T.A Area 2 ETTA

In a video I realised this morning, I discuss electromagnetic coils and how they can be used for energy transfer. I also show how this technology can be used to retrofit wireless/inductive charging into products. youtu.be/20w6wabf15I
