Martin McGinn is a Lecturer in 3D Design at the Belfast School of Art, Ulster University. His academic work integrates design innovation with real-world applications across key sectors:
- Advanced design methodologies including 3D modeling, rapid prototyping (3D printing), and AR/VR technologies
- Design Thinking applications in Education, Healthcare, and Manufacturing systems
- Specialized focus on disrupting service provision in Community Nursing and Palliative Care
His research trajectory demonstrates consistent movement toward technology-driven healthcare solutions, with publications examining how digital tools enhance communication in medical settings and support community-based end-of-life care models. This reflects a strategic alignment between his design expertise and critical healthcare challenges.
McGinn actively bridges academia and industry through multiple funded initiatives including the AHRC Green Transition Ecosystem project (2023-2025) where he serves as co-investigator, and previously contributed to the KTP programme with Alexander Boyd Displays Limited (2018-2021).
