As part of the Science Foundation Ireland funded Reg-Fr-AIMs project we are
seeking applications for a number of PhD scholarships to be based at

McCaffery (Regulated Software Research Centre in Dundalk Institute of
Technology) and Prof Michael O'Neill (University College Dublin). At UCD

Reg-Fr-AIMs sets out to develop a Regulatory Compliance Framework for
Trustworthy AI Medical Device Software. This includes research into
