Congratulations to Zhen Liu, Timo Volkmer and Arijit Bhattacharya who were awarded Embark Postdoctoral Fellowships. We look forward to working with the new fellows over the coming years.

The Embark Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme is administered by the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET). It is open to researchers from all nations who are at an early stage of their postdoctoral research career and who wish to further their research in the sciences, engineering or technology, at an Irish research institution.

Zhen Liu will be working with Dr. Xiaojun Wang (School of Electronic Engineering). Timo Volkmer will be working with Professor Alan Smeaton (School of Computing and CDVP/AIC). Arijit Bhattacharya will be working with Dr. John Geraghty and Dr. Paul Young (School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering).

Other Embark successes for DCU are Clare Hamilton (Mol/Bio), Patrick Hayden (Physics), Ewa Kazimierska (Chemistry) and Jofre Pedregosa Gutierrez (Physics).

DCU was also successful in the the first round of the Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme, the results of which were announced in March. The following successful applicants to this scheme will be hosted in the Faculty of Engineering and Computing, (supervisor and School in parentheses):

Oisín Mac Fhearaí (Dr. Mark Humphrys - School of Computing)

Didier Roche (Prof Heather Ruskin - School of Computing)
