Trinity College Dublin

CRANN comprises a team of over two hundred and fifty researchers from 45 different countries, led by eighteen principal investigators and seventeen investigators, each of whom is an internationally recognised expert in his/her field of research. CRANN principal investigators are based across multiple disciplines including physics, chemistry, medicine, biochemistry and immunology, engineering and pharmacy. CRANN works at the frontiers of nanoscience developing new knowledge of nanoscale chemical and physical phenomena, with a particular focus on new device and sensor technologies for ICT, biotechnology and medical sectors. CRANN also hosts the new Science Foundation Ireland research centre, AMBER (Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research), a €60M euro state-enterprise investment in material research and innovation. As part of the NANOLACE collaboration, the group at Trinity College Dublin will develop nanofabrication processes for the production of binary holograms for matter waves that will be used in NANOLACE to extend lithographic patterning to the 1-nanometre level.
