Biography
I obtained my secondary education in St. Columba's Comprehensive School in my home town of Glenties, Co. Donegal. I graduated with a first class B.Eng. honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Queen's University Belfast in 1996. I began postgraduate research in September 1996, joining the Intelligent Systems and Control Group at Queen's. I completed my PhD, entitled 'Nonlinear Identification using Local Model Networks', in September 2000. After teaching at Queen's for one year, I took up a permanent Lecturer position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in Maynooth University in August 2001, where I have remained ever since.
My research interests have varied over time and include local model networks for system identification, masking the effects of latency in distributed interactive applications and developing an effective real-time interactive student response system for STEM disciplines.
