"Photonic Systems Research"- Prof. David Cotter
(Photonics Systems Group)
David Cotter - SFI Research Professor. David heads the Photonic Systems Group at Tyndall, and is Visiting Professor at Imperial College London. He was previously Head of Optical Systems Research for Corning Inc in the UK and USA (2000-2003), and was project manager of the advanced optical research programme at BT Laboratories, UK (1992-2000).
"Laser Fabrication from Mask design to Packaging for Quantum Dot Materials"- Ms. Carmel Kelleher
(Photonics Sources Group)
Carmel Kelleher - Awarded a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Limerick and M.Eng.Sc. from University College Cork. She then worked in the pharmaceutical industry for four years. She joined Tyndall in 1996 initially as process engineer for Silicon fabrication, but has since worked on InGaAs and InP materials for
optimization of 'TPV cell efficiency'. She has subsequently worked on process development of non-hermetic packaging for LEDs and VCSELs for fibre optic data-communications, an EU-funded project. Her latest area of research is concentrating on semiconductor lasers from mask design to device fabrication, packaging and HR coating of facets.
"Improved Biomolecule Detection Using Geiger Mode Avalanche Photodiodes"- Ms. Marion MacSweeney
(ICT/Bio Group)
Marion Mac Sweeney - Conferred in 2000 with a B.Sc.(Hons.) degree in Zoology and an M.Sc. in Biotechnology focussing on miniaturised optical DNA hybridisation sensors in 2003 from the National University of Ireland, Cork. She is currently completing her Ph.D. research with the title of 'Detection of Biomolecules using Single Photon Counting GM-APD's' in the Tyndall National Institute, Cork.
"Optical detection of encoded microbeads in microfluidic systems"- Dr. Michael Loughran
(ICT/Bio Group)
Michael Loughran - Awarded PhD in Biotechnology from Cranfield University in 1995. Appointed visiting Associate Professor at Tokyo University between 2001-2002 Extensive experience of microfluidics, micro-fabrication and capillary electrophoresis. Dr Loughran moved to Cork in 2004 from AIST Tsukuba, Japan where he is the Team Leader of Biophotonics & Microfluidics Research at the Tyndall National Institute.
