University unveils £5.4m research centre
A new £5.4 million world-leading research centre has been launched at Queen's University.
The International Centre for System-on-Chip and Advanced Microwireless (SoCaM) will develop high performance wireless orientated communication chips for use in advanced mobile applications such as phones, video streaming and vehicular sensors.
Speaking at the SoCaM launch, Queen's Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Gregson said: "As a major interdisciplinary project which has already attracted leading researchers from around the world, the Centre will contribute to major advances in a number of areas which are strategically important to the development of future high performance electronic chips."
The Centre's research programme brings together experts from across the Faculty of Engineering who will develop entire electronic systems based on a single silicon microchip.
Driven by a demand for increased functionality, miniaturisation and efficiency, the Centre will integrate previously separate technologies to design and create the systems of the future which will, beyond doubt, engender new products and industries.
The new research centre represents the first major project to be secured by Queen's Institute for Electronics Communications and Information Technology (ECIT). Based in the Northern Ireland Science Park, the purpose-built £40 million centre will open later this year.
