*Christmas Special* - The Surprising History of Christmas Lights

Saison 2 · Épisode 7

jeudi 19 décembre 2024 • Durée 56:15

In this special feature length episode we dive into the enchanting history of Christmas lights. We are joined by two incredibly distinguished guests: Dr. Niamh Wycherley, a medieval historian and Principal Investigator of a major Irish Research Council project on medieval Ireland, and Jamie Malanowski, a celebrated writer and editor with contributions to The New Yorker, Time, and Vanity Fair. Together, they explore the cultural, historical, and technological journey of Christmas lights—from their medieval symbolism to their transformation into dazzling modern displays. With expert insights, humour, and holiday charm, this episode promises a festive exploration of the lights that brighten our winters. Join our host David McGovern for this fun, Christmas special.

Shining a Light on Research with Dr. Mahrokh Avazpour

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

vendredi 22 novembre 2024 • Durée 24:59

Mahrokh Avazpour was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions co-fund Sparkle Fellowship in 2022 under the supervision of Prof. Liam Barry. She is working in the Optical Communications laboratory in the School of Electronic Engineering, Dublin City University. Mahrokh’s current focus is on the generation of optical frequency comb using mode locked fibre laser. She has worked as a postdoctoral fellow at University of Guanajuato campus Salamanca in Mexico, designing the passive mode locked laser to improve the soliton spectral compression. In 2020 she took up a lecturing position in the University of Oaxaca in Mexico.

Mahrokh received an international gold medal for her research work on optical property on liquid crystals in Seoul International Invention Fair, Korea and 2 gold medals from ITEX and CITREX exhibitions in Malaysia 2013. Mahrokh obtained her Ph.D. from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico in 2019. Her primary research area is mode locked fibre lasers. During her Ph.D. she worked on generating soliton pulses and compression of spectrum using NOLM method.

She received her Master of Science (M.Sc.) Physics from Mysore University, India and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Physics from Azad University of Mashhad, Iran.

Shining a Light on Research with Dr Hemalatha Muthuganesan

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 22:15

"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

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

vendredi 4 octobre 2024 • Durée 27:10

"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

vendredi 27 septembre 2024 • Durée 24:33

"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

jeudi 20 octobre 2022 • Durée 34:56

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. Special thanks to our guests Stefan Stefan Anderson-Engels and Hanna Sjöström.

This podcast is created by Irish Photonic Integration Centre in partnership with Science Foundation Ireland. Special thanks to our producer Kieran Hurley from University College Cork UCC 98.3FM radio.
