Location: The Ol' 55 Bar

This event explores how infrastructure, materials, and logistics shape a more sustainable and connected future. From strengthening global supply chains to understanding how freight transport and policy influence regional competitiveness. Discover how Irish timber is being reimagined for modern, sustainable construction, and how stretchy sensors are transforming the future of healthcare monitoring.

Supply Chain Resilience

Ibrahim Fikry (Postdoctoral Researcher)

Supply chains deliver the products we rely on every day. This talk explains how businesses can prepare for disruptions and build resilient supply chains to keep goods flowing.

From Forest to High-Rise: Building with Irish Timber

Rimjhim Kashyap (Postdoctoral Research Associate, BiOrBic)

Can we build tall, low-carbon buildings from Irish timber? This talk explores a seven-storey modular timber building designed and tested for safety, comfort and sustainability—and what it might mean for the housing crisis.

Why Lorries Decide the Future of Regions: Freight and the Hidden Geography of Power

Chethaka Gamage (PhD Student)

Freight transport shapes regional competitiveness. My research shows how connectivity differences between core and peripheral regions affect growth, and why fairer not just efficient transport systems matter.

Stretchy Sensors: The Future of Smart Healthcare

Nasim Shokri (PhD Student)

What if medical devices could stretch like skin? I explore flexible sensors that improve patient comfort and enable smarter, real-time monitoring.
