I am also the
co-chair of the European
Data & Computational Journalism Conference. Additionally I serve at the programme committee of various conferences such as Computation+Journalism, ACM Hypertext, IEEE HICSS and the Web Conference, amongst others, and have co-organised a number of workshops including Social Media and News at ICWSM, Social Media Archiving at HICSS and Citizen Journalism and Social Media at HICSS.
I research, work and teach at the nexus of data, technology and journalism, and am passionate about creating innovative solutions for the media industry and in particular for newsroom. I have extensive experience working in research, development and media industries.
I was formerly a Research Fellow at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at NUI Galway, where I led the Insight News Lab. During my time at Insight I founded and lea a number of R&D projects in the News and Media area, in collaboration with industry partners such as RTÉ.
I am the co-founder of Irish Times Data and former Lead
Data Scientist and Data Journalist at the Irish Times.
I am also the founder of Hacks/Hackers Dublin, which aims to bring 'hacks' & 'hackers' together.
At age 19 I co-founded a successful software development company. I left my company behind in December 2010 when I sold my share, but it is still growing and is now in its teenage years! I have also worked as an honorary researcher for with Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe and a visiting research fellow at the National Technical University of Athens. Before moving to Ireland, I worked briefly in the media industry in London, where I learned about news production and also the importance of social media in that process. Since then I have worked with various Irish media organisations, mainly in R&D and 'data' innovation capacities.
In 2011 I was awarded the Google's Women Techmakers Scholarship, which is awarded to outstanding young women scholars in computer science and related fields.
I often get engaged in advisory or consulting roles
with news and media organisations, advising on Data
Journalism and Newsroom Innovation. I am always happy
to hear about interesting ideas and projects from
newsrooms and innovative news organisations, and
excited to get involved and help. Talk to me about
your ideas!
