About

Niall Murray is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital transformation, sustainable eco-innovation, and advanced human-robot interaction. His work spans two seemingly distinct but critically interconnected domains: paludiculture for climate action and immersive technologies for Industry 4.0. Murray’s most cited paper (122 citations) proposes a paradigm shift in peatland management through digital transformation, enabling real-time sustainable production of eco-friendly products—a vital contribution given Ireland’s rising carbon emissions. Simultaneously, he pioneers the use of Shape Memory Alloys (48 citations), Augmented Reality, and Digital Twins (21 citations) to revolutionize human-robot collaboration in smart factories. His development of the RoSTAR system (21 citations) for ROS-based telerobotic control via AR demonstrates practical, cost-effective solutions for remote robotic operation. Murray also applies immersive digital training to improve patient safety in medical device processing (20 citations), showcasing the translational impact of his work. With over 250 total citations across these emerging fields, Murray is shaping the future of sustainable manufacturing and climate-resilient innovation.
