Imagine trying to stop something terrible from happening in a world of randomness, noise, and complexity. Think of a massive power grid with unpredictable links, a swarm of drones flying through turbulent air, or billions of people connected in a global social network. Now imagine something starting to go wrong — a failure, a collapse, […]
Can We Cut Compute Energy Without Losing Accuracy? MISHE group was delighted to have today Dr Erivelton Nepomuceno (Associate Professor, Hamilton Institute, Maynooth University). As our models and simulations scale, so do their energy footprints. In his talk, Dr Erivelton Nepomuceno explored energy-aware computing—moving beyond a performance-only mindset to design workflows that are both efficient and sustainable. […]
How AI is Revolutionising Breast Cancer Screening Using Medical Imaging Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women. According to the World Health Organization report in 2022, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer, and it was also estimated that 7.3 million women are battling breast cancer globally. By 2040, the cases of […]
Dr. Upaka Rathnayake recently had the pleasure of delivering an engaging session at the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL), focused on the critical topic of scientific writing for high-impact journals. The session, titled “Writing your manuscript targeting a high-index journal: selecting a journal, writing philosophy, and preparing the manuscript”, aimed to demystify the publication […]
Happy to have conducted my research at ICHEAP 17 in Florence! Thanks a lot to AIDIC – Associazione Italiana Di Ingegneria Chimica and the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE), which organised it in such a great way and made it possible for me to present my own work. I want to acknowledge PROCEED 3D and […]
When machines see the world in 3D through cameras, they gain the power to perceive depth, justlike we do with two eyes. This is the core of stereo vision, a technology that lies at the heart ofrobotics, autonomous navigation, augmented reality, and more. But designing a stereo matchingsystem that is both fast and accurate, while […]
MISHE PI Dr Paul Greaney recently led a seminar on AI in the Public Sector. Over 60 public sector professionals gathered online for the successful Data2Sustain webinar, co-hosted by ERNACT and Atlantic Technological University (ATU). The engaging session focused on the responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence within the public sector, specifically highlighting the Irish Government’s new Guidelines for the […]

Over three stimulating days, […]
We’re pleased to announce that the MISHE website is now online, providing a central hub for information about our research centre and activities.
The Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Intelligent Systems for Health and Environment brings together researchers from across disciplines to work on challenges related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our new website shows our research areas, researcher profiles, and the latest MISHE news.
MISHE recently held a seminar on Hot Topics in AI, delivered by MISHE PIs Dr Muslim Jameel Syed from ATU Galway and Dr Saritha Unnikrishnan from ATU Sligo. Muslim spoke on DeepSeek: Overhyped or The Next Big Thing in AI? His talk explored the DeepSeek architecture, capabilities, and innovations, comparing it with traditional search engines […]
The latest MISHE Seminar, held in ATU Sligo and online, focused on computational methods in chemistry. Joaquin Klug and Callum Ives, new lecturers in the Faculty of Science, explained how computer simulations can be used to study molecules and chemical reactions, helping scientists understand molecular structures, properties, and behaviours. By applying Newtonian mechanics, large molecules […]
