A paper written by Francisco Goiana-da-Silva, João Guedes Marecos and Dr Oliver Bartlett of the MU Department of Law, entitled Health Misinformation: A Bioethical Approach, has been awarded the João Lobo Antunes Memorial Prize in Bioethics by the Portuguese Ministry of Health. Professor João Lobo Antunes was a prominent figure in the field of health ethics, life sciences and biology research. This prize, created by the Portuguese Ministry of Health in his memory, is awarded to a study or piece of research work that contributes significantly to advancing the discipline of bioethics. The paper written by Dr Bartlett and colleagues discusses the dissemination of fake health news as a public health threat and the bioethical implications of its regulation. Dr Bartlett teaches Public Health Law, European Union Law and Legal Research Methods in the Department of Law.
Dr Indrakshi Dey, Department of Electronic Engineering and Maynooth University Hamilton Institute
Dr Indrakshi Dey of the Department of Electronic Engineering was elevated to the grade of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Senior member, an honour bestowed only to those who have made significant contributions to the profession. Dr Dey, received an MSc degree in Wireless Communications from the University of Southampton in 2010, and a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calgary, Canada, in 2015. She is also a member of the SFI CONNECT Telecommunications Research Centre. The primary goal of her project FD-M2Mcomm at the SFI CONNECT Research Centre is to maximise the end-to-end performance of Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2MCom) systems through Cross-Layer PHY-MAC Full-Duplex (FD) design. It is expected that numerical results over realistic link scenarios will show that this FD design significantly improves the achievable throughput and latency as compared to other key contending technologies.
