Contact Details University of Limerick

Ciarán completed his B.E. in 2003 from NUI Galway, and PhD in 2009 from the same institute, between 2003 and 2005 working as an FPGA developer on RF products with Connaught Electronics Ltd. His PhD was in the area of automotive omnidirectional camera design and calibration. From 2009 to 2020, Ciarán worked as a team lead and architect for various computer vision projects with Valeo Vision Systems, including Object Detection, Reconstruction, Visual Odometry, Visual SLAM and Stereo. In 2016, he was promoted to Valeo Senior Expert, a role that is recognised by Valeo as equivalent of Director level in a technical stream. In 2020, Ciarán joined the University of Limerick as a Lecturer in Electronic and Computer Engineering. His research interests remain in all aspects of Computer Vision, AI applied to Computer Vision problems, Automotive sensing and mapping, SLAM and sensor technology.
