FlowVis
Translates complex grid planning simulations into visuals non-technical decision-makers can act on, supporting multi-million euro infrastructure decisions.

Digital Infrastructure
I'm an Associate Professor in UCD's School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. My research focuses on optimization, analysis and visualization of electrical power systems. Specifically, I develop techniques to reveal the structure and function of power networks. Over the past decade I've published extensively on power system visualization in IEEE journals and conferences, have developed algorithms that were incorporated into widely-used research tools, and collaborated with Irish grid operators on practical visualization projects. FlowVis will commercialize this bod of research: taking flow-based visualization techniques that currently exist in my academic publications and hardening them into production software that grid planners can actually use.
