CST Global reliability engineer Dr Gio Giuliano presents at ICT Devices showcase at University of Glasgow

III-V optoelectronic foundry Compound Semiconductor Technologies Global Ltd (CST Global) of Blantyre, Glasgow, Scotland, UK says that, at the ICT Devices showcase at the University of Glasgow on 22 February, reliability engineer Dr Gio Giuliano gave a poster presentation focused on collaborative research projects between CST Global and the University of Glasgow where students benefit from working within both academic and industrial settings whilst studying.

“The poster described the key highlights of collaborative projects, focusing on the academic support provided by the university and the technology transferred,” says Gio, a recent recruit from the University of Glasgow. “I was also able to highlight the underpinning skills I gained relating to the ‘Impact Agenda', which concerns the wider contribution of these projects to the UK economy, society and culture.”

Glasgow University is driving developments in ICT device applications and systems, which the showcase at ICT Devices helps to profile. This includes device design and simulation; materials synthesis; integration technologies; manufacturing processes; and micro- and nano-fabrication competence.

Professor Muffy Calder (vice principal & head of the University of Glasgow’s College of Science and Engineering) welcomed visitors to ICT Devices. A keynote address was given by Carol Monaghan MP, chair of the UK’s All Party Parliamentary Group for Photonics and a member of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee.

Speakers at the ICT Devices showcase included Achala de Mel, ICT theme portfolio manager at the UK’s Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC); Andrew Shields, head of Toshiba’s Quantum Information Group; Debra Carr, innovation partner at DASA; Frazer Anderson, business development director at Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT); and Sophie Lange, integrated photonic expert at Microsoft.
