Biography

Dr. Martin Glavin graduated from NUI, Galway in 1997 with a BE in Electronic Engineering, and with a PhD in 2004 in the area of algorithms and architectures for high speed data communications systems. He was employed as a lecturer (fixed term contract) from September 1999 to December 2003 and became a permanent member of academic staff in January 2004. In 2007 he received a Higher Diploma in Third Level Education. He has worked in collaboration with local industry in the area of digital signal processing for automotive and biomedical applications. He currently has a number of MEngSc, PhD and Postdoctoral researchers working in the areas of signal processing and embedded systems for biomedical and automotive applications. He has received funding recently from local industry and from Enterprise Ireland under the Innovations Partnerships and Proof of Concept schemes. He is joint director of the Connaught Automotive Research (CAR) Group and is also a Principal Invistigator in the  Bioelectronics Research Cluster at the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science.
