Mark is co-founder and CEO of Syntropic Medical, bringing a strong technical background to the role. He studied Physics at the University of Galway, Ireland, where he gained expertise in both applied and biomedical physics. During his studies, he was awarded a research fellowship in the Translational Medical Device (TMD) Lab under Prof. Martin O’Halloran, now director of the Bioinnovate Fellowship. It was here that Mark became deeply involved in the medical device innovation ecosystem, working with companies like Luminate Medical and Endowave. He later led important projects in the lab, including the development of a novel imaging system for lung ablation procedures.

For his contributions at the TMD Lab, Mark was recognized as one of Ireland’s Leading Innovative Engineers and represented the University of Galway internationally. After completing his studies, he founded his first venture-backed company, focused on developing a neurovascular stimulation device for stroke recovery—an experience that proved invaluable in shaping Syntropic Medical into what it is today. Beyond his work at Syntropic, Mark is also highly active in the volunteering and innovation space with his director role at Sigma Squared Society.
