Tyndall National Institute
Prof. Cian Ó Mathúna is Director of Integrated Power and Energy Systems Research at Ireland’s Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork. His team’s research, into the miniaturisation and integration of magnetics onto silicon, has contributed to disruptive developments of integrated power management for processors in portable and high performance computing. Using semiconductor fabrication of thin-film magnetics, the team have made bulky magnetic components disappear onto silicon chips. Called “MagIC”, Tyndall’s magnetics-on-silicon technology has been licensed to global electronics companies and foundries. In 2008, Cian founded the International Workshop on Power Supply on Chip (PwrSoC), now a flagship event for IEEE PELS and PSMA. Through his leadership, and his collaborations with world-leading industry players in Europe, USA and Asia, Ó Mathúna has influenced the emergence of global supply-chains for PwrSoC that has seen high-volume production of magnetics-on-silicon in commercial product. Cian is an IEEE Fellow and, in 2021, received the IEEE PELS Technical Achievement Award for Integration and Miniaturisation of Switching Power Converters and also received an EARTO (European Association of Research and Technology Organisations) Impact Innovation Award.
