Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future Programme
The Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future Programme supports innovative, high-risk research projects in Ireland, providing significant funding to advance scientific discovery and societal impact.
On Friday 14th, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, today announced a total €34.5 million investment to support 39 cutting-edge research projects nationwide through the Programme.
On of these projects being:
High efficiency power conversion and delivery with light (Hilight)
Funding Amount: €584,513
Lead: Brian Corbett, Tyndall National Institute and School of Physics.
The project will develop effective ways of harvesting energy from light, creating innovative and efficient methods to transfer energy using light, resulting in new power converting devices. These will enable more efficient collection of energy from the sun and power delivery for difficult places such as high voltage environments and medical endoscopes.
Congratulations to Brian and best wishes for the project.
