Senan Morrisis a Research Engineer and industry PI at the WiSAR Lab, having graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Embedded Systems Design from LYIT. In 2017, Senan was awarded an MSc by Research, which focused on flexible antenna design for wireless body area networks.
Senan has been a member of the WiSAR team since 2014, where he works as a hardware and firmware engineer, with a focus on wireless sensor technology. He has been involved in many projects over the years, primarily in the area of healthcare and agriculture, the latest of which was the EU Interreg Funded NWCAM (North West Centre for Advanced Manufacturing) project, where he was lead engineer. Senan’s research focuses primarily on the Internet of Things, wearable technologies, and RF antenna design.
Some of Senan’s most recent projects include:
- Design and development of a wireless, resistive-based pressure sensing mat for wheelchair users
- A Bluetooth low energy-based data glove designed to assess the stiffness of joints in the fingers of patients suffering from various forms of arthritis
- A remote health monitoring system for beef cattle
- A wireless crop monitoring system for the agriculture sector
