- A journal paper of work from my PhD has just been published in IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing. You can now view it electronically on. Its titled “Acoustic Source Localisation and Tracking of a Time-Varying Number of Speakers”.
- I am current seeking a new position. Click here to access my CV. Additional material (research summaries and proposals) is available upon request.
- We’ve had a great response about our work on 3D Kinect localization. Check out our videos. I’m looking forward to working with the folks at PCL on this at part of a code sprint sponsored by Toyota. A paper has just been submitted to ICRA 2012.
- My paper with Hordur, Michael and John was nominated for one of the best paper awards at ICRA 2011 – one of 20 nominees out of 2000 submission. The approach combined sonar and acoustic AUV navigation within a single smoothing framework. Read the paper here.
Background
I was a PhD student in the Signal Processing Group at the Department of Engineering of the University of Cambridge. Simon Godsill was my supervisor with Andrew Blake as my industrial supervisor at Microsoft Research – who kindly funded my PhD studies. I completed my undergraduate degree in Electronic Engineering (BEng) in University College Dublin (Ireland) in June 2004 where I worked with Scott Rickard.
