Tyndall received the 2011 Innovation Award for its project titled “Nanoelectronics for an Energy Efficient Electrical Car (E3Car)” demonstrating 35% energy savings, lower costs, improved reliability and shorter time to market by introducing innovations at component and sub-system level, some of which are being adopted in real-life applications as early as in 2012.

The Tyndall research for the project was led by Dr Kafil M. Razeeb. “My team was involved in the development of novel electromagnetic field sensors to be used in power train monitoring of the next generation of energy efficient cars.”

Tyndall went on to win 2nd and 3rd place for posters describing their research projects at the ENIAC Innovation Awards Exhibition. eGo is a project that focuses on  developing a technology which allows touch activated secure, wireless communication between objects. eGo won second place and E3Car project won third place. Dr Alan Mathewson, Head of the Heterogeneous System Integration group at Tyndall, said “We were delighted to be acknowledged for our work on this project amongst the 60 other projects showcased at the Innovation Awards. My team are working together with Dr Kieran Delaney in CIT and some Irish SMEs such as Lincor and  DecaWave to build prototype demonstration systems based on the eGo concept.”
