1st place, undergraduate level
Centre for Implementation Research, University of Limerick (CIRcUL)
I'm really grateful to have won first place at undergraduate level, out of a large number of submissions. Being recognised for my own research means a lot to me.
The prize was launched by the Centre for Implementation Research at UL (CIRcUL) and is awarded for the best application of implementation science within a student research project. It honours retired Professor Alice Coffey, recognising her lifelong dedication to teaching excellence and academic integrity, and her pioneering work in advancing implementation research in Ireland and internationally.
At its core, the prize is about closing the gap between research and practice: making sure new ideas actually get used in real-world settings and have a lasting impact. For me, it's recognition that I can take complex computational work and turn it into something practical that works.
