Hi, I'm a research assistant for FilmEU at IADT, with a BA in animation filmmaking and a Masters by Research that focused on Irish television animation.

My interests include animation history (particularly Irish and European animation); the non-human animal onscreen; the history of children's television (animation and puppetry); archives and personal collections; Irish culture.

I hope to begin PhD research in the near future and would be delighted to speak to potential supervisors with similar interests.

Humans impact ecosystems in ways we often do not realise. And ecosystem degradation impacts human in scale that we often do not fully understand. Every action by us has an impact on our own health and well-being. How to visualize it in a compelling way that not only creates awareness but also leads to action?

My artistic research focuses on the concept of chance within film editing. Film editing is in film theory and education mostly considered as a form of construction - editors are constructing the narrative, the story, the rhythm, the emotion. In my filmmaking practice which includes both editing and directing experience, I have noticed that a counterforce to the construction is an ever-present element in my work. Originally inspired by Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes, who separates Studium (a culturally coded layer, understandable to everyone) and Punctum (pure chance, an accidental layer, not clear why it is there), in a photograph (Barthes, 1993), I've over the years wondered and experimented on what could be Punctum in film both within my filmmaking practice as well as teaching practice. My research consists of three parallelly evolving parts: overview of film history, interviews with practicing film editors and classroom experiments with students, which all focus on the question of identity of the editor - what happens if it is changed from a story constructor to a chance-seeker.

In the time when AI generated images are going to take over the audiovisual space very soon, the credibility of images becomes one of the most important question around us. I feel it is very important to research how do we as filmmakers and film editors specifically look at images and what role does our identity play in this process? The position and the philosophy of the filmmaker becomes to play a key role here.

I would love to be part of a research group which looks at similar topics, where I can add the perspective of a practicing filmmaker and editing lecturer.

I am interested in a critical approach to the impact of AI in digital storytelling

I am interested in the impact of algorithmic practices on digital storytelling. Namely, disruptions to authorship, linearity, lack of closure. I use critical posthuman theory and new materialism as a way to better understand these intersections between humans and code
