Prof. Dermot Diamond was appointed as director of the National Centre for Sensor Research (NCSR) which is based in DCU.

During a small reception formally announcing Prof Diamond’s appointment he said “The research environment nationally and internationally is extremely dynamic, and if the NCSR success story is to continue and develop, we must play a leading role both in defining national research priorities, and in providing outputs from our research activity that have a clearly demonstrable socio-economic impact. We must also reinforce the connectivity between core expertise in basic research, and innovative technology platforms aligned with specific applications in areas like personal health monitoring, future diagnostics, the environment and process optimisation.”

Prof. Diamond’s appointment and the continuing success of the centre has been achieved due to the tremendous efforts of many individuals - faculty, admin & technical staff, postdocs and postgrads - people in other DCU units, partners in Ireland, and in many countries across the world.
