Madeleine Lowery

Madeleine Lowery is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University College Dublin. She leads the Personal Sensing research group, focusing on engineering approaches to study the human nervous system in health and disease, with applications in therapies for impaired motor function. Her interdisciplinary research integrates neural engineering, electromyography, and biomedical signal processing.

• Specializes in neuromuscular systems and neural control of movement
• Develops myoelectric control systems for artificial limbs
• Designs high-density electrode systems for neural activity recording
• Investigates deep brain stimulation mechanisms in Parkinson’s disease models

Her research spans neurodegenerative disorders (ALS, Huntington’s disease) and rehabilitation technologies, including wearable sensors for gait and sleep analysis. Key methodologies involve computational modeling, adaptive control systems, and biomedical signal analysis.
