Research Interests

Speech and Audio Processing, Fixed and Mobile Network Modelling, Bio-signal processing, Application of Machine Learning Algorithms

Biography

Liam Kilmartin received his BE (Electronic Engineering) degree in 1990 and his MEngSc degree in 1994, both from NUI, Galway. He joined the academic staff of the department in 1992 as a temporary teaching appointment before and he was appointed to a permanent position in 1994 specialising in the fields of fixed and mobile communication systems. His current research interests focus on the application of signal processing and machine learning techniques in a variety of domains. These include speech, audio and image processing, mobile and fixed network modelling, signal processing and classification algorithms for EEG analysis with specific interest in Brain Computer Interface applications, image processing for biomedical imaging modalities and the application of signal processing to bio-signal analysis in general. He has supervised students to both masters and PhD awards in these areas, funded through IRCSET scholarships and competitive external funding which he has individually attracted, and he has a significant number of publications in international journals and peer reviewed conference proceedings.
