I am Senior Lecturer with the School of Business Technology, Retail, & Supply Chain at TU Dublin, and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Technology and Digital Innovation (STaDIa).  I hold various adjunct and visiting Professor positions with universities such as Trinity College Dublin and the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ).

I am a Principal Investigator with RinnAI and the ADAPT Centre, and hold Funded Investigator status with Research Ireland.  I have secured more than €2.3 million in competitive research funding across TU Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, leading projects in AI, sustainability, ethics, global development, and digital innovation.  I currently supervise three MSCA Senior Research Fellows and 11 PhD researchers.

My research examines the ethical, social, and political dimensions of digital innovation, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence, sustainability, and technology for global development.  I am interested in how digital technologies are designed, governed, and deployed across different social and institutional contexts, and in how they can advance equity, inclusion, and sustainability rather than reproduce existing structural inequalities.

I lead research that combines academic rigour with applied, real-world impact.  My work includes AI for global development and AI for sustainability-focused projects in Ireland, Europe, India, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Sierra Leone, often developed in collaboration with universities, NGOs, policymakers, and local stakeholders.  

My research is shaped by context-sensitive and ethically grounded technology deployment.  My PhD examined mobile health interventions in Sierra Leone through a critical realist lens, focusing on the political, ethical, and cultural dynamics of digital health in low-resource and post-conflict settings.  These methodological, philosophical, and practical focuses continue to inform my work on AI ethics, AI for sustainability, data justice, user agency, and the limits of techno-solutionist approaches to global development.

Across all my work, I prioritise impact.  My aim is to contribute to digital transformation for good: research that is conceptually rigorous, empirically grounded, socially meaningful, and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in relation to health, education, equality, climate action, responsible innovation, and global partnerships.
