Alan Kennedy

Alan Kennedy is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering at Dublin City University. His research centers on electronic percussion systems, including pad design, electronic drum module development, signal processing algorithms, and human-computer interface optimization. He investigates sensor technologies for responsive musical interfaces and software architectures for real-time sound synthesis.

His publications focus on computational methods for engineering problems, particularly convection-diffusion modeling using electrical analogues, which bridge mechanical engineering and computational mathematics.
