Manuel Carro Dominguez
Curriculum Vitae
Manuel was born in Spain and raised in Ireland. He holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Trinity College Dublin where he completed his master thesis on characterising the role of cortical theta activity in postural control for fragile X premutation carriers using electroencephalography- and posturography-based analysis. He then worked in Germany, at Infineon Technologies as a modelling and algorithm expert developing AI-ML based pipelines for machine olfaction using multigas sensor arrays. Manuel joined the Neural Control of Movement lab as a PhD student in September 2020.
Research Interests
He is interested in investigating how sleep (assessed via nocturnal EEG), cortical task control and autonomic functions (assessed via ECG and blood pressure) are related and whether projections from the Locus Coeruleus (assessed with pupillometry) play a key role in linking these functions.
