Research and Innovation Showcase 2025 | Team Plant Check

On 29th May, 2025, we invited staff, students, partners and industry to our Inaugural Innovate, Collaborate, Engage: Trinity School of Engineering Research & Innovation Showcase to see some of the exciting work being undertaken within the school. This event featured presentations from Postdoctoral and PhD researchers, and showcased design projects at all levels within the school. One such design project, from Module 5E3 (Innovation in Product Development), was Plant Check, sponsored by Richard Nair’s group in the Department of Botany. Collaborating with University of Sao Paulo. The team is Adam Holmes, Ellen Fitzpatrick and Ellen Noonan. The team bring data-driven farming to farmers, which informs them about the optimum times to do things like spread slurry and fertiliser on their land. This helps to reduce pollution and run off while helping to improve the quality of food produced. Find out more: https://www.tcd.ie/engineering/industry/research-and-innovation-showcase/
