Biography

Frank received his Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Trinity College, Dublin in 1994, a Masters of Science (Physics) degree from Queens University, Belfast in 1996, and a PhD degree from WIT in 2013 in protocols for molecular communication. 

He is currently a Lecturer at Waterford Institute of Technology, delivering modules in the area of Internet of Things(IoT), Web Development, and Automotive Software Development. Previously he was a researcher with the Telecommunications Software and Systems Group where he worked on a number of European Commission funded projects.  
His interests include the Internet of Things, Javascript/Web programming, and Automotive Systems and Security.  

Frank delivers the following modules on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in WIT:

Undergraduate

  • Internet of Things Protocols and Standards
  • Project Semester 2 (IoT)
  • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
  • Web Application Development 2
  • Model-based Development

Postgraduate 

  • Computer Systems and Networks (H.Dip in Computer Science)
  • Enterprise Web Development (MSc in Enterprise Software Systems)

Frank also supervises a number of postgraduate and M.Sc. students, both taught and by research, in the Automotive Control Group and as part of the MSc in Enterprise Software Systems
