Bryan Hennelly

Bryan Hennelly is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Maynooth University's Faculty of Science & Engineering. His research bridges biomedical engineering and biophotonics, focusing on optoelectronic microscopy systems for clinical pathology applications.

• PhD in Optical Engineering (University College Dublin, 2005)
• Established biophotonics laboratory (2012)
• Science Foundation Ireland Starter Researcher Grant recipient

His work integrates holographic microscopy and Raman micro-spectroscopy for automated diagnostics, particularly in early-stage bladder cancer detection from urine samples. Collaborations span industry, academia, and HSE institutions. Key research themes include:

• 3D imaging systems using digital holography
• Optical encryption techniques
• Signal processing algorithms for biomedical applications
• Background subtraction and noise reduction in spectroscopy

Publications (over 100) demonstrate expertise in Raman spectroscopy, digital holography, and optical signal processing. Current projects involve developing advanced diagnostic platforms combining imaging and spectroscopy with machine learning.
