Dr. Christopher Broderick, a Staff Researcher (Senior Researcher) with the Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC), Tyndall, UCC, a recent holder of the National University of Ireland Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Sciences, and one of five young scientists chosen to represent Ireland at the 2019 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, has been awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Global Fellowship in the highly competitive 2020 call. The two-year outgoing phase of the three-year Fellowship will commence in late-2021 at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), where Dr. Broderick will work under the supervision of Prof. Chris Van de Walle.

MSCA Global Fellowships enhance European research excellence and expertise, acting as a vehicle for advanced transfer of knowledge between the EU and other countries. Global Fellowships enable EU-based early-career researchers to undertake advanced training through research where they are hosted by a non-EU research institution before reintegration to their home institution.
