Richard McCarthy is a R&D Software Engineer. Since Richard has joined IMaR in late May 2022, he has worked as both a Principal Investigator and Researcher on numerous projects creating software prototypes that interact with RFID and IMU sensors, CAD drawing automation and investigating potential Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions across various fields.

Richard also has over 12 years industry experience working as a software contractor in the financial, software, digital media and public sectors. He is currently pursuing his PhD in the field of Artificial Intelligence through MTU.

When not finding himself confused by technical problems, Richard is also involved in competitive cycling coaching. He still likes to enter the occasional road race or time-trial himself. When not on a bike, he can usually be found either swimming, the gym or wandering the endless scenic trails and mountains Kerry has to offer or else gone on a travel adventure with little to no plan!
