About Peter McNulty

Hi, my name is Peter McNulty. I am an Undergraduate Leadership & Research Scholar at Trinity College Dublin.

For my research project, I will be "Pricing the environmental impact of AI-related data centre energy consumption in Ireland" as I think that it is important to balance AI's economic benefits with the growing emissions and energy consumption burden that Ireland faces. This will involve a literature review of EU Carbon Policy, research into carbon market trends and computation of AI-specific consumption costs using EU ETS pricing frameworks.

Outside of my studies, I play guitar, piano and sing in pubs! I also enjoy running long distances for charity.

This is a fabulous reflection Aisling, you are a testament of your hard-work dedication and ambition. I am extremely lucky to have the privilege to chat and learn from you not only as another scholar in our excelling cohort but more importantly as a human and a mother. As one of the younger members of the cohort, not only do I find you inspirational but also as a fantastic role model for us younger students to follow!

I think that you would be a vital and much needed addition to Laidlaw Scholars Advisory board for next year Between your bubbly, curious personality and your brave and open willingness to discuss topics such as homelessness, poverty and domestic abuse given your personal experience. You are a fabulous leader and would inspire and represent those who aren't currently represented from the cohort on the advisory board!
