What happens when old friendships, ambition and desire begin to unravel? 📚

School of English, Drama and Film, UCD alumna Sarah Gilmartin (MFA 2019, MA 2011) explores these tensions in her new novel 'Little Vanities', featured in The Irish Times.

Following the success of 'Dinner Party' and 'Service', Sarah's latest book brings together sharp wit, emotional insight and beautifully observed characters navigating love, betrayal and midlife uncertainty. Wonderful to see another member of the UCD Alumni community continuing to make such a strong impact in contemporary Irish literature.

"Well, I should start by saying that I owe my very existence to UCD! My grandparents met here back in the 1940s, and later my mum studied at Belfield too." 💡

For Paul Cuffe (BE 2009, PhD 2013), the connection to University College Dublin runs deep. Today, the UCD alumnus is an Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering whose research focuses on renewable energy and the future of electricity networks.

In this interview, Paul looks back on the experiences that shaped him as a student and engineer, from long hours in the lab to his fascination with how technology, infrastructure and design shape everyday life. Through his work with UCD College of Engineering & Architecture, he also reflects on why the next generation of engineers will need curiosity, imagination and strong communication skills alongside technical expertise.
