Tyndall researchers secure IRC funding
The Irish Research Council (IRC) announced the awardees for the postdoctoral fellowship, postgraduate scholarship, and Enterprise Partnership Awards, with four Tyndall researchers receiving funding across the three schemes.
The Tyndall awardees include Karl Rönnby and Anurag Pritam from the postdoctoral fellowship programme, Michael Sweetman from the postgraduate scholarship programme, and Hazel Neill from the enterprise partnership scheme (postgraduate). Minister Simon Harris announced that €24.6 million in Irish Research Council funding will be granted to support emerging researchers and projects.
The awardees are working on projects such as controlling metal morphology for 3D neuromorphic architectures, exploring room temperature multiferroicity for sustainable data storage, investigating metal film morphology on 2D material substrates, and developing a 2D material-based Josephson junction for quantum technologies (2D-QT).
Dr Michael Nolan, chair of the research committee, Tyndall National Institute, said: “Postgraduate students and early career researchers, who show high potential as future research leaders, are critical to developing our research excellence at Tyndall as well as providing a pipeline of the highest quality research talent. These awards, spanning PhD, enterprise focused PhD and postdoctoral researchers, are highly competitive and highlight the breadth and quality of research and the research environment at Tyndall, allowing the successful awardees to tackle critical questions in materials, data storage and semiconductor technologies.”
Simon Harris, minister for Further & Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, said: “By supporting this activity, we are cultivating generational talent within Ireland’s research and innovation ecosystem that is focusing on key challenges and opportunities and on the issues facing this generation such as climate and technology.”
