UCC STEM researchers receive Irish Research Council Laureate Awards
Congratulations to UCC STEM researchers Dr Kate Kiseeva, School of Biological Earth and Environmental Sciences/Environmental Research Institute, and Dr Xing Ouyang, IPIC SFI Centre for Photonics who have been awarded funding as part of the Irish Research Council’s Starting and Consolidator Laureate Awards Programme.
Under the scheme, researchers receive funding for cutting-edge projects equally divided across the fields of the humanities; physical sciences and engineering; life sciences; and social sciences. The Laureate programme encompasses two streams of funding, namely ‘starting’ funding for early-career researchers who are to receive €400,000 each and ‘consolidator’ funding for mid-career researchers who are to receive €600,000 each. 48 ground-breaking research projects were funded nationally.
Dr Kate Kiseeva's project is entitled "Oxidation state and fluid speciation in the deep Earth" and Dr Xing Ouyang's project is "Versatile Waveforms for Radio Access Enabling Ubiquitous Communications towards Future 6G Wireless Networks and Beyond".
Commenting on the announcement, Professor John Cryan, Vice-President for Research and Innovation, UCC stated:
"I’d like to congratulate all of our Laureates on achieving these prestigious awards which range from the humanities to law to deep tech but share the goal of addressing major societal needs and creating a better future for us all."
