Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

Prof Saay is currently accepting self-funded PhD students interested in conducting research in the interdisciplinary areas of Software Architecture, Blockchain Technologies, AI-driven applications, and Low-Code/No-Code Platforms. Research topics may include the architectural design of distributed systems, blockchain-enabled software solutions, intelligent application development, and the integration of emerging technologies to support digital transformation. The WAVE project catalyzes the development of a strong Low Code / No Code (LCNC) research and adoption capability for Ireland. Supported by eminent scholars, international domain experts and corporate and public sector partners, this multi-dimensional and visionary project will lead research and dissemination programmes in both core (Low Code / No Code development platforms) and applied Software Engineering (Digital Thread). Salim Saay is a principal investigator in this project and accepts PhD students.
