Jonathan works within the Office of Research, Innovation & Graduate Studies as the contact point for Research Analytics, Impact, and Systems Support. His role includes the governance of business intelligence systems used for research data (CRIS, CRM) and the processing and analysis of this data. Identifying new ways of presenting our data, facilitating researchers with requests for statistics, and designing/distributing reports that showcase the research performance of the Institute.
Having completed his undergraduate degree in Applied Computing (Industrial – Level 8), Jonathan thereafter pursued a career in research and education with WIT. He has an extensive background in both European and Nationally-funded IT research and over 16 years of lecturing experience in the areas of computer programming, mathematics, statistics, and final year project supervision up to Level 8 students.
In 2002, Jonathan pursued his Masters degree part-time by research focussing on the development of a component-orientated, distributable software-based solution for rating (i.e. calculating costs associated with) telecoms services in the internet era. His thesis has a specific focus on developing both arbitrarily complex algorithms and one fully-developed use case algorithm (ReFLEx) to illustrate the capabilities of the system developed and presented a novel slant on cost calculations for service usage.
Throughout the years, Jonathan has maintained a research interest in these fields in addition to imparting expertise to undergraduates registered to the teaching programmes that he was charged with delivering. Jonathan now works behind the front line of research, within the Office of Research Innovation & Graduate Studies, to conduct statistical analysis of our performance as an institute, assist with strategic ambitions, and develop reports, software solutions, and other material that contribute to supporting the research effort of the Institute.
Jonathan is happy to be contacted about any matters surrounding research data, analytics, impact, reporting, web presence and resources for research, and all associated areas that you may need assistance on.
Traditionally, Jonathan's research focus was on internet service development and specifically on rating algorithms and solutions for internet service provisioning. He has worked on projects related to these and many other areas throughout his career.
Recent funding awards include an allocation from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to host an Open Data Hackathon at WIT, promoting a national objective in relation to the reuse of open datasets.
Previously, through my work with the TSSG (now Walton Institute) I have co-authored many funded research proposals, including the IMenabled project that was ranked as the top-rated proposal in Europe in its eTEN funding round and competitively secured in excess of €1m in research funding for the Institute.
Jonathan has co-authored and worked on the implementation of many successful projects involving industry, through programmes such as the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Partnership scheme.
From October 2000 until January 2017, Jonathan lectured as a part-time member of the academic staff at WIT. Mostly lecturing to part-time education students via the School of Lifelong Learning but also delivering course material when required through the School of Science & Computing. Subject areas covered throughout that period include:
Jonathan has worked in both the commercial and academic worlds, in software-related disciplines, telecommunications research, and lecturing. His experience ranges from research systems support, data analytics, working with large spreadsheet-based datasets, casual graphic designer, software developer, technical lead, software architect, to delivery of course material to undergraduate students.
