Faster than the Speed of Light Waves
With PIADS-CDT
The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Photonic Integration and Advanced Data Storage (PIADS) is a partnership between the Irish Photonic Integration Centre, Queen’s University Belfast and University of Glasgow. Aiming to tackle some of the challenges created by the increasing quantities of data generated by today’s society.
PIADS focus is on developing highly-manufacturable photonic integration technologies related to the magnetic storage of digital information. Which will be relevant to a wide spectrum of end-users. E.g. biophotonics, where optical tech is applied to living organisms and health care.
Photonics is the technology of generating and harnessing light (photons), and so all of our GSF videos below have, unsurprisingly, light as a common theme!
Download the PIADS x GSF Workbook below and try our experiments at home. Videos from our researchers will help guide you through each experiment.
