James Condron (more commonly known as Jim) received the BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Dublin Institute of Technology in 1997. He completed his PhD in 2004 entitled "Time Frequency Analysis applied to Autonomic Nervous System Activity in a Biofeedback Environment" in Dublin Institute of Technology. During the time between the finishing his primary degree and his PhD, James spent 2 ½ years working in MIT Media Lab Europe, where he was appointed as a research fellow and worked as a Biomedical Engineer for the MindGames© group. In 2005 James was appointed a research position within the School of Control Systems and Electrical Engineering under the Arnold F. Graves Postdoctoral Research Fellow scheme. Since this time he has concentrated his efforts towards the further development of algorithms in the field of Biomedical Engineering, teaching and designing modules for courses in Advanced Engineering and Assistive Technology to Taught Masters level. This has also lead him to furthering the profile of Biomedical Engineering within the DIT by running projects from 3 months to Ph.D. level. James has also spent an invaluable amount of time liaising with hospitals, clinics and industry to identify possible solutions which may be provided by the health researchers within DIT. During the course of his research James has been involved in activities which have enabled him to work in multidisciplinary environments. Whilst working in Media Lab Europe, he worked in a team which included Visual artists, Psychologists, Software programmers, Puppeteers, Dancers, Haptic specialists and Industrial designers. He was also on the organising committee of the 2003 AAATE (Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology Europe) conference in Dublin. He was also one of the founding members of the Health Engineering and Rehabilitation Team (HEaRT), a biomedical research group in DIT.
