Biography

Richard Reilly received his B.E., M.Eng.Sc. and Ph.D. Degrees in 1987, 1989 and 1992, all in Electronic Engineering, from the National University of Ireland.In 1988 he joined Space Technology Ireland and the Dept. de Recherche Spatiale (CNRS group) in Paris, developing DSP-based on-board experimentation for the NASA satellite WIND. In 1990, he joined the National Rehabilitation Hospital and in 1992 became a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at University College Dublin, focusing on signal processing for speech and gesture recognition. Since 1996, he has been on the academic staff in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering at University College, Dublin. He is currently Associate Professor and researches into neurological signal processing and multimodal signal processing.

 

Professor Reilly was the 1999/2001 Silvanus P. Thompson International Lecturer for the IEE. In 2004 he was awarded a US Fulbright Award for research collaboration into multisensory integration with the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, New York.

 

Since joining UCD, Professor Reilly has obtained:

·         over 11.1M euro in individual funding from the following agencies:

o        Enterprise Ireland

o        European Commission

o        Fulbright Commission

o        Higher Education Authority

o        Intel Research

o        National Rehabilitation Trust

o        Science Foundation Ireland

o        UCD Discretionary Travel Award

o        UCD President’s Research Fellowship

o        UCD Seed funding

  • over $30M in group funding:
    • TRIL Centre - 2006

Research Interests
Neural engineering. Multimodal signal processing (EEG, ECG, EMG, EGG and EOG) for neurological diagnosis. Research is targeted a better understanding of the underlying physiology, identifying non-invasive electrophysical cognitive biomarkers for cognition impairment in the elderly, schizophrenia, and the detection of seizure in neonatal infants.

Professor Reilly's research group, the Multimodal Signal Processing Group, consists of 5 Ph.D. students, 4 postdoctoral researchers and 6 contract researchers.
