DESCRIPTION:Innovation Seminar Series Talk: "Adding value by taking materi
 al away?  The Porotech story"\n\nRachel Oliver\, Professor of Materials Sc
 ience\, University of Cambridge\, CSO and co-founder of Poro Technologies\
 n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nRachel is a world-leading materials engineer\, ren
 owned for the study and innovative applications of gallium nitride (GaN) f
 or electronic and optoelectronic devices. She invented novel methods for t
 he fabrication of nitride nanostructures\, and her successes led to the cr
 eation of Poro Technologies Ltd\, a spinout company that is bringing porou
 s GaN to UK and International industries. She is a world leader in the dev
 elopment of nitrides for quantum technologies and has produced single phot
 on emitters with unprecedented performance. She has several awards\, inclu
 ding being named among the top 50 Women in Engineering: Sustainability on 
 International Women in Engineering Day in 2020. She has championed diversi
 ty in engineering at the Houses of Parliament.\n\nAbout the Company\n\nPor
 otech - Revolutionary approach for GaN-based RGB MicroLED displays Porotec
 h's game-changing Porous GaN platform technology enables small & efficient
  Red\, Green\, Blue MicroLED chips with a single GaN material system. Read
 y for mass production and no need to mix with other materials (and associa
 ted mass transfer and reliability issues)\, MicroLED is bound to become th
 e ultimate display technology ideally suited for the next generation of AR
 /MR near-eye applications\, wearables and many other consumer electronics 
 devices.\n\nCambridge Enterprise supports Porotech with the commercialisat
 ion of the technology\n\nThe research mission of the University of Cambrid
 ge is to contribute to society at the highest international levels of exce
 llence. Cambridge Enterprise has the important job of supporting Universit
 y of Cambridge researchers accomplish this mission by translating their wo
 rld-leading research into global impact. We understand the science\, the o
 pportunities\, and the risks along the way to creating impact for the grea
 ter good. \n\nIf you would like to discuss your research or have an idea o
 r invention you would like to pursue\, we invite you to contact us at the
