    Shining a Light on Research with Dr Hemalatha Muthuganesan

    "Someone considering a PhD? Yes definitely go for it. More than a technical degree I think it teaches a lot of things in life." Hemalatha is a researcher in photonics, currently part of the opto-team in the EP-ESE group at CERN, focussed on developing radiation-hard optical links for high-energy physics using silicon photonics. Hemalatha`s role involves designing and characterizating radiation-insensitive optoelectronic devices.

    Shining a Light on Research with Dr Oisin McCormack

    "If you are interested in doing physics research, even if that's in a company, having a PhD under your belt is a huge boon both personally and career-wise." Oisin McCormack is an experimental physicist currently working in the field of nanophotonics and biosensors. Oisin is a MSCA Postdoctoral researcher in nanophotonics at Trinity College Dublin working on a project entitled "All-Dielectric Metasurfaces for Sensing Applications (MESA)" and has many areas of research interest including design, manufacture, and characterization of metasurfaces and nanostructures.

    Shining a Light on Research with Dr Imanda Jayawardena

    "Consider what your motivations are for doing a PhD, not just doing something for the sake of it." Dr Imanda Jayawardena is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Science Foundation Ireland Research Fellow at the Irish Photonics Integration Centre (IPIC). Her current research focuses on developing a bone-on-a-chip device for monitoring osteogenesis with the use of non-invasive, label-free, non-ionising spectroscopic techniques such as Raman and Diffuse Reflectance spectroscopy. This allows for longitudinal data acquisition from implants used for fracture healing, with minimal damage inflicted upon patients. It also enables gaining insight into bone formation mechanisms on hydrogel surfaces at a cellular level and surface properties of hydrogel substrates.

    Light Saving Lungs

    In this episode we discuss how the use of a light is helping doctors to understand how the lungs of premature babies are functioning in way that can be done using a harmless light source, can be continuously so you can keep an eye on this at all times and which can help ultimately bring better outcomes for these babies futures. The technique this is all based on is as in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) and in this podcast we learn more about this novel technique.  Hosted by David McGovern.
