He recieved his Bsc(Eng) from TCD in 1998, but has been working as an electronic design engineer since 1993 in both SMPS and Audio industries. He is also involved in computer music (composotion and hardware), and DJ's professionally in several nightclubs. He has recently completed the design and production of a professional audio mixing console with his own spare time and resources, which has met great acclaim from many audio industry professionals. He has a patent pending on a particular feature of the mixing console.
Ronan Coyle (3D Modeling / Industrial Design)
Ronan is a researcher in the Liminal Devices Research Group at Media Lab Europe.
He became interested in visual representations of 3D space while studying architecture in Bolton Street, where he stayed for three years before switching to Visual communications in the College of Marketing and Design. There he studied photography, printmaking, illustration, life drawing and interactive design. In my final year he focused on 3D animation and simple programming. After College I worked in Windmill Lane (a Dublin based post production facility) for two years, working on product advertisements, channel identities and program intro sequences. He moved to Pluto (a post production house that was just starting) for a year before taking time out to do my own animation projects and experiments. During this time he collaborated with musicians and photographers on various projects and later received a Frameworks grant from the Irish Film Board to produce a short animation.
