Biography
John Meneely is the founder of 3D Surveying Ltd, having previously worked as Senior Research Technician at the School of Natural and Built Environment, Queen’s University, Belfast. With over 30 years of experience in practical research, he has worked all over the world with interdisciplinary teams across the earth sciences. His expertise lies in using a variety of 3D laser scanning and other digital technologies to map, monitor, and visualise the built and natural environment across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. He has presented his work at many national and international conferences and been the keynote speaker at several 3D digital technologies conferences. He was on the advisory board for SPAR Europe for two years – Europe’s largest 3D scanning conference – and invited to speak at the 2009 International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) symposium in Malta on the use of terrestrial laser scanning. His early research and publications focused on studying the catastrophic decay of building stone under complex environmental regimes and the digital documentation of natural and built heritage sites for several geological, geographical, archaeological, managerial, and educational applications. His recent interest has extended his data collection skills into 3D visualisation via 3D printing, VR, and AR. He is currently advising several SMEs, primarily in the environmental monitoring, built heritage, construction, and facilities management sector on integrating 3D technologies into their workflow.
