Elisa Popescu completed her master's project satisfactorily and with a perfect grade under the supervision of Maria Dimaki. Although Elisa had no prior experience in microfluidics or numerical simulations, she quickly learned the necessary concepts and independently achieved the goals of her challenging project, which involved microfluidic simulations to develop a concentration gradient mixer. Elisa worked hard, asked for help when needed, and impressed her supervisors with her work. Dimaki is confident that Elisa will be successful in her future employment.
Presentation on the Machine Learning Dublin meetup initiative that we in ADAP...Declan McKibben
A presentation I made at the recent University-Industry Interaction Conference in Dublin that talks about our ADAPT Centre initiative of supporting the Machine Learning Dublin meetup community event for AI, Machine Learning and Deep learning.
It's based on a longer paper I submitted to the conference. Here are the key observations:
Meetup events are bottom-up, informal, community forums
They offer:
Novel channels for university research outputs dissemination
Opportunities for networking
Knowledge sharing
Knowledge and expertise development
Commercial and collaboration opportunities
Recruitment opportunities

My Masters thesis on the technological, sociological and policy implications of wearable technologies, and how they can be designed with the humanist goal of enabling witnessed presence.

Recommendation letter for Elisa Popescu
It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation letter for Elisa Popescu. I got to know Elisa
through a course I was teaching in the autumn of 2011, called “Micro- and Nanotechnology in
Diagnostics and Pharmaceutical development”. She was an eager student and performed well in class
and in the written exam. Although her background was in pharmaceutics, she was greatly interested in
the solutions micro- and nanotechnology can offer in the field of diagnostics and for that reason she
contacted me in order to do her master project in the Nano Bio Integrated Systems (NaBIS) Group at
DTU Nanotech. The project we could offer at the time involved a lot of microfluidic calculations and
simulations in order to develop a microfluidic mixer able to rapidly produce a logarithmic concentration
gradient for sensor calibration purposes. Elisa had no previous experience with microfluidics, either
theoretical or practical, and had similarly never been exposed to numerical simulations using
COMSOL Multiphysics. This, however, did not stop her from accepting the project and completing it
extremely satisfactorily, on-time and with a perfect grade. She quickly familiarised herself with the
basic concepts of microfluidics, allowing her to initiate the simple analytical calculations necessary for
the project, and later on, with COMSOL, so that the more detailed numerical simulations of
herringbone mixers could be done.
Through her project Elisa worked independently and hard, achieving the goals set for her at the
various stages of the project. She was eager to learn new things, and was good at asking for help
from the various group members and myself when she needed to. Faced with a very challenging
project, based on her background, she did extremely well and impressed both her supervisors as well
as the censor for the master project. As a group member she fitted very well with the rest of the NaBIS
group and participated in the various group activities.
I have no doubt that Elisa will do great work, wherever she decides to seek employment.
