Flaithri Neff, PhD

Interview Focus for #WorldStandardsDay Academics and experts, like Dr. Flaithrí Neff (@Flaithri Neff) of the Technological University of the Shannon (@TUS_ie), are showing the value of academia to the development of standards. “There is a lot we can contribute to improve people’s lives,” according to Flaithrí. Flaithrí successfully applied for the Research Ireland (@Researchirel) Public Service Fellowship Programme, after the National Disability Authority (@NDAIreland) issued a call for research. Donal Fitzpatrick of the NDA feels that it is essential that more stakeholders, particularly persons with disabilities, are included in the standards-development process. He said: “Persons with disabilities represent a significant demographic group within the broader population and frequently have accessibility-related needs which must be catered for. In order to capture these needs, it is crucial that the voice of persons with disabilities is heard, and that their lived-experience is included.” Read more about Flaithrí’s research and his contribution to standards here: nsai.ie/images/uploads…

@TUS_ie well represented by Patrick Duffy presenting his poster at the Cumulus Conference in Antwerp.

@young_gareth @tcddublinscss @tcddublin Well done Gareth - congratulations 👍

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Assistant Professor in #ComputerScience (Graphics and Vision) in @tcddublinscss at @tcddublin

Full house here at #AICONNECT in Shannon with @FMCampusIreland @AMAXTechnology and @NVIDIAEU

Another wonderful event at FMCI in Shannon Ireland today for #AICONNECT. Patrick Duffy & myself with our trusty Neumann KU100 binaural microphone to talk about our ⁦acoustic research in Intelligent Transport Systems. ⁦@FMCampusIreland⁩ ⁦@TUS_ie⁩ @AMAXTechnology⁩

Great to have @FlaithriNeff& Patrick Duffy from #TUS using the Future Mobility Ireland proving ground for acoustic testing. This pilot project aims to monitor&record the variability of acoustic signals from different vehicle motor types as well as those from vulnerable road users

Limerick City and County Council is inviting you on a special walk around Limerick to experience all the sounds of a city, not just the dominate ones. Learn more: limerick.ie/council/newsro…

Great event this evening w/ guest speaker Dr. Dan Barry! Thanks to @qxlab and to all attendees for joining us! #AESorg #DanBarry #GoListen #SubjectiveListening #QXLab #AudioResearch @andrewhines

Fantastic talk by Prof Aaron Lanterman @abovenyquist at our AES Ireland @IrlAes online event. Highly recommend people jump to his excellent YouTube lectures on analog circuits in music too. Thanks to Joe Timoney for organising and to Aaron for giving us his time this evening.

Please give serious consideration to installing the @HSELive #CovidTrackerApp. This is a very well-designed and privacy-sensitive app. @UCC @insight_centre @Confirm_Centre @UL

As I follow the mounting evidence, I wanted to share my current thinking on why/how SARS-CoV-2 is spreading. It is critical that we understand why/how so we can stop the spread. Note - it is not that different from our Science Perspective published on May 27 (1/)

@DrEricDing @WHO I am one of the scientists who wrote the letter described in NYT. Many of the negative comments on this thread relate to a misconception of what "airborne" is, which is shared by the WHO experts. See below the FAQs of my model on the topic.

Nice infographic that summarizes risk levels of different activities

It’s embarrassing that it’s so simple

Those widely-viewed @acsnano papers on mask filtration had some issues. See correction at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…, for example. We are working on this, too, but good research takes time. /2
