<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Bio</span></p>
<p>I started my career by doing AI research for national defense in 1997 & 1998, while still an undergraduate. <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Henry-Leung">Henry Leung</a> was my supervisor. Here's the papers: [<a href="https://gpbib.cs.ucl.ac.uk/gp-html/McConaghy_1998_GPlsfpmpts.html">1</a>][<a href="./content/2003-Classification_of_audio_radar_signals.pdf">2</a>].</p>
<p>Then, in my first startup (<a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/analog-design-automation">ADA</a>), we explored the relation between human creativity and AI-based machine creativity. We started work on ADA in 1998; Synopsys <a href="https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1217490">acquired</a> ADA in 2004.</p>
<p>I extended that work in my PhD at <a href="https://micas.esat.kuleuven.be/">ESAT-MICAS</a>, KU Leuven, Belgium from 2004-2008. <a href="https://scholar.google.be/citations?user=FGCYpVMAAAAJ&hl=en">Georges Gielen</a> was my supervisor. I found a way to reconcile machine creativity with existing engineering knowledge. Here's the book: <a href="content/mcconaghy-phd.pdf">[PDF]</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Variation-Aware-Design-Custom-Integrated-Circuits/dp/146142268X">[Springer version]</a>.</p>

<p>In my second startup (<a href="http://www.solidodesign.com/">Solido</a>), we leveraged AI to help drive Moore's Law, which was under threat due to high manufacturing variations. Here's the book: <a href="content/2012-variation-book.pdf">[PDF]</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Variation-Aware-Design-Custom-Integrated-Circuits-ebook/dp/B00A9YH8P2">[Springer version]</a>. Now, Solido software is used for most modern chip designs. We started work on Solido in 2004; by 2010 we were profitable; Siemens <a href="https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1332639">acquired</a> Solido in 2017.</p>
<p>My third and current startup has been about blockchain applied to art, data, and AI. We hatched the <a href="https://medium.com/@trentmc0/ascribe-for-nft-archaeologists-17ca5481d206">ascribe&nbsp;NFT platform</a> in 2013, <a href="http://www.bigchaindb.com/">BigchainDB</a>&nbsp;blockchain database in 2015, and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.oceanprotocol.com/">Ocean Protocol</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;2017.</p>
