About
 Dr
Michael Madden joined the Department of Information Technology,
NUI Galway, as a College Lecturer in September 2000. He graduated
with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UCG in 1991,
and subsequently worked for four years as a Ph.D. research
assistant in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, UCG
(1991-1995), during which time he spent 6 months as visiting
scholar at the University of California, Berkeley (1993),
in the Berkeley Expert Systems Technology lab. Within his
Ph.D. work, he discovered a new Machine Learning algorithm
for deriving rules from examples, and applied it to monitoring
machinery to detect incipient (“soft”) faults in real-time.
He worked in professional Research & Development for 5 years
(1995-2000) in MCS International, an internationally trading
Irish software company with its headquarters in Galway and
subsidiary offices in Aberdeen, Oslo and Houston. He began
in MCS as a software engineer and was appointed Research &
Development Manager in January 1999. In MCS, he gained wide
experience of managing commercial software R&D projects, including
Flexcom-3D Version 5, MCS's industry-leading product for design
of slender subsea structures.
Over the past 10 years, Michael
has participated in 7 EU funded R&D projects, including initiating
and co-ordinating the EU Innovation Project MOSCOT (1997-2000),
which had participants in 7 organisations across Europe and
a budget of €1.2 million over 2.5 years. His main areas of
research are Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
He is currently supervising postgraduate research into applying
machine learning to transport logistics (the V-LAB project),
medical diagnosis, and financial analysis.
