Are you a computer game enthusiast but wondered about the science behind them and how they affect you? Are you curious about AI and the ins and outs of writing code? Then what are you waiting for? Join us at JJ Bowles on 15th May.

Programmers Are People Too!

Jim Buckley (Professor, University of Limerick)

We put an awful lot of effort into developing and evaluating aesthetic-and-effective front-ends for our software systems (typically referred to as UX or user experience). But we often neglect very obvious cohorts of users. Programmers use software tools intensively to help them develop and evolve the software systems they develop, and this talk will discuss some of the work we have done in Lero/CSIS@UL towards identifying their information needs and how software tools might address them.

Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging: Risks and Benefits

Finn Krewer (Research Fellow, University of Galway)

AI software is used to help doctors to read X-Rays, CTs and MRIs. But sometimes these AI don't perform as well as they should. We are analysing the evidence of how effective different AI systems are.

One Size fits None - how 3D Printing can personalise healthcare

Kevin J. O'Sullivan (He/him) (Research Fellow, Munster Technological University )

3D printing has established itself as the future of manufacturing; from novelties to rocket ships, and everything in between. This talk will introduce you to the many incredible uses of 3D printing today, and where it is going in the future.

Gamers move differently based on the game

Antoine Dupuy (He/him) (PhD Student, University of Limerick)

Competitive video gaming comprises various types of games requiring different actions to perform. To achieve this objective, players display unique movement characteristics.
