On the ocean that hollows the rocks where ye dwell, A shadowy land has appeared, as they tell; Men thought it a region of sunshine and rest, And they called it Hy-Brasail the isle of the blest.
Gerald Griffin,1888 (Project Gutenberg - Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic)

Overview
I joined the research group in September 2000, after studying for my undergraduate degree in the university and I'm currently researching my PhD thesis (having picked up a M.Sc. along the way).

My principal research interests are Auditory Displays and Human Computer Interaction, which means that I design cool technology with a user oriented perspective, this includes how they use it and the consequences of it for how they live and work. Click on "Research" above for more information, and a list of current and potential projects. I've been involved in several projects along these lines: SOb, SHAPE, MMS, Metamusic and currently IMS-ARCS.

As well as being involved in too many internal activities, I am also involved in too many external ones. I've developed a reputation for editing proceedings and edited or part edited the DAFx-01, NIME-02 and ICAD-03 conference proceedings. I've also served as an assistant for the ICSE conference in 2000 and the DAFx-01 conferences which were hosted by the University of Limerick. I helped in organising the 2005 ICAD conference which was held in University of Limerick. I'm an Irish delegate for the COST: Action IC0601 Sonic Interaction Design (SID) management committee and I'm also a member of Working Group 4 which is focused on sonification.

I'm someone whose idea of a whole-body workout is to visit the University's gym twice a week. However, I have occasionally been spotted in a kayak. Watch out if you see me, because I'm probably not in control.
