Biography

Charles Markham is a graduate of Applied Physics at DCU. His PhD was in the area of element specific imaging in computerised tomography. He has maintained an interest in novel imaging systems, instrumentation, sensing and machine vision technologies. He has collaborated with the Engineering Department and Hamilton Institute at MU to develop a brain computer interface based on optical tomography. The work involved developing accurate methods of photometry to allow blood oxygen levels to be measured and so infer brain activity.  Working in collaboration with TU Dublin he developed novel methods of measuring and locating retro-reflective objects in sequences recorded by a custom mobile vision system. He has developed techniques for imaging using coded apertures and developed wide-baseline stereo imaging methods to achieve a visual radar system. Working with the physiotherapy department at UCD, he developed practical sensors for integration into wearable biofeedback systems and has maintained an interest in motion capture (MoCap). He has also collaborated on multidisciplinary research in the area of measuring driver behaviour and has integrated eye-tracking and EEG sensors into novel driving simulators. Currently he is developing a research interest around modelling disease and invasive species. He is an active member of the MU Mathematics and Statistics Ecology group. He teaches Robotics, Computer Graphics and Advanced Computer Architecture.
