Approach to Research

At LIT, there is a strong focus on postgraduate training and supervision. LIT is now part of the Shannon Consortium Graduate Training Development Network Programme, which provides an exceptional environment for postgraduate learners to develop research skills in preparation for a career towards leading research in the private and public sectors.

Computing and Informatics Research (CaIR) Group

The Computing and Informatics Research Group (CaIR) is the Department of Information Technology’s research group and was formed in 2018.

The ambition of the CaIR group is to facilitate research across the entire spectrum of ICT, including Future Networks, Communications and Internet of Things; Data Analytics, Management, Security, Privacy, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (including Machine Learning); and Digital Platforms, Content and Applications, and Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.

The group is working on developing collaborations with other established research groups and centres such as the TSSG at Waterford Institute of Technology, LERO at the University of Limerick and the CIPA cluster at DCU. CaIR is headed by Dr Niall Corcoran, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Information Technology.
