The Datasheets for DCH Datasets Template V.2 is out!
I am a Research Ireland-funded postdoctoral researcher based at the Rinn AI Centre at University College Dublin. My current research examines the intersection of reflexive data analytics, Generative Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Heritage under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Amber Cushing.
I was recently awarded a PhD (by the College of Social Sciences and Law, UCD) on ethical heritage data practices, taking as a case study the Collections as Data (CaD) initiative. In my thesis, I have explored how CaD principles can facilitate critical engagement with heritage data and eventually help tackle ethical concerns towards the interaction with AI systems.

My recent career developments led me towards this area. I often define myself as an information professional — or better a data professional.
Coding and working with LLMs are among my best assets. I am proficient with R and Python, and my expertise covers a broad range of technologies.
My original research area is archaeobotany (study of ancient plants), but I have extensive on-field experience in digital and community archaeology.
It started as a hobby, and became a proper job through several opportunities; my web and graphic design abilities very often feed into my academic outputs.
