Prof. Gearóid ÓLaighin is Professor of Electronic Engineering at NUI Galway, Principle Investigator in the Bioelectronics cluster in the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science, NUI Galway and Principle Investigator in Galway Connected Health, NUI Galway.

He graduated with a B.E. degree (first class honours) in Electrical Engineering and a M.Eng.Sc. degree in Microelectronics both from University College Cork. He was awarded the Ph.D. degree at the National University of Ireland, Galway in 2000 for work on the "Dynamic Correction of Hemiplegic Drop Foot using Functional Electrical Stimulation".
 
Prof. Ó Laighin has a range of industrial experience including periods when he worked in United States as a Product Engineer of high-speed static RAMS at Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Salinas, California from 1985 to 1987 and as a Design Engineer of Complex Logic Products at Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Santa Clara, California from 1987 to 1990.

Prior to his appointment as Professor of Electronic Engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway, Prof. ÓLaighin was a Senior Lecturer in Electronic Engineering and Assistant Dean, Research for the College of Informatics and Electronics at the University of Limerick. He was also founding Director of the Biomedical Electronics Laboratory at UL.

Prof. ÓLaighin is a Fellow of Engineers Ireland, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET) and Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (SMIEEE) and is a Fulbright Scholar.

He is a referee for several biomedical engineering journals and a member of the Editorial Board of Medical Engineering and Physics.

Prof. ÓLaighin has supervised 12 PhD students as lead supervisor to graduation, he has published over 50 international peer-reviewed journal papers.
