Biography
Ted Burke's undergraduate and postgraduate studies were all undertaken in UCD. He was awarded a BE in Electronic Engineering in 1998, an MEngSc in 2001, and a PhD in 2005. The title of his MEngSc thesis was Rehabilitation applications of musical human-computer interfaces and the title of his PhD thesis was Accessible human-computer interfaces for communication and creative expression. From 2001 to 2005, Ted managed UCD's Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory (situated in the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin), where he conducted and coordinated research in a wide range of rehabilitation and assistive technology projects. He subsequently spent several months as a post-doctoral researcher in UCD's Multimodal Signal Processing Laboratory. Since 2005, Ted has been a Lecturer in DIT's School of Electrical Engineering Systems, where he teaches a range of subjects including Robotics, Engineering Design, Engineering Computing and Bioelectromagnetism. His primary research interest is human-machine interaction, with an emphasis on facilitating communication and control. His other research interests include biomedical signal processing, embedded systems, music technology and toys.
