After completing a PhD in psychoacoustics in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, Culann worked in Windmill Lane Recording Studios, with some of the biggest bands in the world, designing creative/productivity tools for day-to-day activities.

He then built and ran a number of hybrid Studio/R&D businesses, combining real-world, real time learning from commercial recording activities with technology development and consultancy to develop useful tools for ever-changing customer needs.

Culann has worked with audio/music throughout his career and Segotia is a return to roots: that 3D spatial psychoacoustics PhD from years ago now gets used in ways that he never imagined... and the best is yet to come!

Brendan has spent his career in Silicon Valley, starting with Apple subsidiary Claris, to deliver the first Japanese version of Clarisworks. He went on to build Ariba's Globalization Development team, serving European and Asian customers.

He was Google's first Internationalization Engineering team hire, responsible for internationalisation of Google products worldwide. He went on to found his own company, Tethras, and has held senior engineering positions at Adobe, GoDaddy and Monsanto.

Brendan is passionate about delivering software solutions to a global audience. When he's not tackling the challenges Segotia throws his way, you can find him relaxing on the golf course, or maybe powering up a steep incline on his mountain bike.

Originally from a Mechanical Engineering background, Ian completed a PhD in acoustics from Trinity College Dublin and has never looked back.

He has worked in audio and acoustics projects for over a decade with a particular emphasis on spatial audio, localisation and passive acoustic absorption technologies.

Ian enjoys the challenges of real-time audio coding and delivering high-quality experiences to customers. Outside of work, Ian enjoys road biking at the weekends and fumbling about on guitar when he can.

Mick’s Electrical Engineering background led to a PhD in Neural Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. He subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York and an AI residency at Google X, California.

Mick’s work has leveraged machine learning to study audiovisual processing and attention in the human brain and build neural decoding applications. He has developed numerous software packages for scientific research, including the mTRF-Toolbox.

Mick is passionate about developing neurotechnology for real-world applications. Outside of work, he enjoys playing hurling and music, going to gigs and hiking.

Ed’s interest in sensory neuroscience began at MIT's Media Lab Europe, where his work on brain-computer interfacing and attentional mechanisms in the human brain led to a PhD from University College Dublin.

He then worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in New York, Dublin and London before starting his research lab at Trinity College Dublin. In 2016, he joined the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience at the University of Rochester where he is an Associate Professor.

When not analysing brain signals, he likes to play (in descending order of quality) basketball, pool, golf, guitar, tennis and chess.

Ed works in an advisory capacity for SEGOTIA.
