    Biography

    John McDonald is a Professor at the Maynooth University Department of Computer Science where he has held a faculty position since 2001. He is also a member of the Maynooth University Hamilton Institute and the Assisted Living and Learning Institute. His research interests include computer vision, robotics, and AI, focussing on the development of spatial perception and intelligence for autonomous mobile robotics. He has worked in areas including visual simultaneous localisation and mapping (vSLAM), intelligent vehicle systems, vision based geotechnologies, face and gesture analysis, and digital holography. His research has been funded under various research programmes from Science Foundation Ireland, the EU, Enterprise Ireland, and the Irish Research Council. He is currently a Funded Investigator in Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software, a named supervisor in the SFI Centre for Research Training in the Foundations of Data Science, and a collaborator on the SFI Blended Autonomy Vehicles Spoke. Previously, he was a visiting scientist at University of Connecticut, the National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG), and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) at MIT.
