Research Profile

Mr. Lysaght received his B.A. degree in Music and Mathematical Physics in 1984, his H.Dip.Ed. in 1991 and his M.Comp.Sci. from NUI, Maynooth in 1996. He is currently finishing a Ph.D in Computer Science at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth and is a permanent member of the Department of Computer Science's lecturing staff.Mr. Lysaght's main research area is sound analysis and synthesis, particularly the area of timbre morphing with applications in the area of synthesis and composition. He uses the Wigner Distribution as his time-frequency representation for timbre and develops signal processing techniques for morphing. This research is carried out in collaboration with Dr. Victor Lazzarini of the Music Department and Dr. Joseph Timoney of the Computer Science Department at NUI, Maynooth.This group of researchers regularly publish papers in the area of signal processing techniques for audio applications.
