I secured £10k from the Covid-19 Pandemic Research Enabling Fund in 2021 as the principal investigator, which enabled me to establish an extensive network by participating in 14 invited talks at leading conferences between 2021 and 2024.

The workshop facilitated a stimulating discussion among 20 attendees from QUB, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, UCD, and the Energia Group, particularly through the PI's presentation, 'Smart Grid Data Analytics: Challenges and Opportunities.
