Meta has agreed to a four-year programme of research led by Tyndall’s Prof Paul Hurley, recently appointed as Meta’s industrial chair in semiconductor technologies at Tyndall and the School of Chemistry at UCC.
The appointment demonstrates Meta’s world-class research efforts in the core technologies underpinning the broad adoption of augmented reality (AR) platforms, and the strategic importance of its Irish research teams collaborating with Tyndall in Cork.
Professor Hurley will lead a multi-disciplinary research team, including the appointment of a cohort of Tyndall PhD students, to help advance the state of AR technology alongside Meta.
Prof Hurley said: “The optoelectronic efficiency of ultra-scaled devices such as micro LEDs is dominated by surfaces and interfaces. The goal of this research engagement with Meta is to investigate heterogeneous systems and determine their impact on efficiency, further informing critical technology adoption in future products.”
Prof William Scanlon, CEO, Tyndall National Institute, said: “Meta’s work with Tyndall will further develop our semiconductor research programme and hopefully lead to new advances in display technologies and product innovations for the AR sector. The work further strengthens Ireland’s strategic importance to Meta and in particular, Tyndall’s research excellence in semiconductors and photonics.”
