Coding theory is a major component of Applied Algebra. It has many applications in the mathematics of communications and has many links with other scientific disciplines, such as electrical engineering and computer science. Coding theory arises in almost every imaginable digital communications and storage system. In UCD, it is taught at the undergraduate level in the module MATH30180 An Introduction to Coding Theory.
Initiative
Python for Data Scraping, Data Analysis and Machine Learning
About this initiative
This project aims to create a comprehensive video series to enhance digital literacy in key areas of finance. The series will cover Python programming for financial modelling, data analysis, data scraping, and machine learning. Additionally, it will demonstrate how to deploy artificial intelligence to build a robust database on digital assets enforcement actions by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission). By providing practical, hands-on tutorials, this initiative seeks to equip students and professionals with the essential digital skills needed to navigate and leverage modern financial technologies. The expected impact is to foster a deeper understanding of digital tools in finance, enhance data-driven decision-making, and prepare students for the evolving landscape of financial regulation and enforcement.

Improving Access to Practical Elements of Environmental Engineering
In an applied subject – such as engineering – practical, hands-on learning opportunities are invaluable. Student and external examiner feedback has emphasised the value that students place on laboratory and practical classes, and the desire to incorporate more of these activities into the modules offered. This project focuses on two modules which are delivered simultaneously to two cohorts of students; in-person and online.
Immersive Technology in Education: A Collaborative Learning Initiative
This project is underpinned by an innovative short online course on Immersive Technology in Education. It stems from the research of Rachel Farrell, UCD School of Education, in the area of ‘democratic pedagogical partnerships’ (Farrell, 2021) in teacher education and is designed and facilitated by post-primary school teacher Mark Baldwin of SchooVR.
