Professor Nabeel Riza, UCC School of Engineering and Architecture who was inducted as a Fellow of the prestigious European Academy of Sciences (EurASc).
The ceremony took place recently at the Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, Turin, Italy, founded in 1757 by the renowned Turin-born mathematical physicist J. L. Lagrange.
UCC Chair Professor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nabeel A. Riza received this honour in recognition of his work as an international prize-winning inventor of light-based technologies. These include inventions deployed in the global fibre-optic internet and data centres to route and manage extreme data rate optical signals.
His innovative work also encompasses the foundational light coupling theory and models used to realise critical energy savings in millions of fibreoptic-freespace design components within today’s telecommunications.
EurASc (www.eurasc.eu) based in Brussels, Belgium is a fully independent international association of distinguished scholars, dedicated to recognising and electing the finest European and International scientists who embody a vision for Europe that transcends national borders.
Academy members include 51 Nobel Prize winners such as physicists Charles Townes, Carlo Rubbia, Gerard t’ Hooft; chemists William Knowles, Rudolph Markus and applied physicist-engineer Herbert Kroemer.
