Tyndall’s presentations included Hasan Baghbaderani speaking about 'Core Loss Mechanisms in Different Soft Magnetic Materials', Brendan O’Sullivan speaking about 'Gate Driver Chip-Set Using Low Volt-Second Pulse Transformer for Galvanic Signal Isolation', Mike Hayes speaking about 'Micro-power Energy Harvesting for Retrofitted Wireless Sensors in Buildings' and Dr Ranajit Sai speaking at the PSMA Magnetics Workshop.
A special congratulations to Mike Hayes who received a Special Recognition Award from PSMA (Power Sources Manufacturers Association) for his Leadership as PSMA Chair during the very challenging COVID period.
The Tyndall team also attended APEC’s first-ever student job fair allowing Tyndall to attract potential postgraduate students and build key relationships with fellow research institutes and industry partners.
The trip to Orlando generated significant impact with Tyndall showcasing its research excellence to an international audience both in academia and industry, delivering opportunities to increase our research collaborations.
