2011 Commercialisation Award

Tim McCarthy (right in picture) was presented with the 2011 Commercialisation Award at our January Commercialisation Workshop.  Significantly Tim’s work within the National Centre for GeoComputation (NCG) and StratAg at NUI Maynooth has a strong commercial dimension which is reflected in his recent spinout IGeotech which is due to launch its first product this year. The precise application is commercially sensitive but all will be revealed shortly!

Tim has over 20 years broad based geospatial project research experience gained in both industry and academic environments. Tim’s research areas are focused on Novel multi-sensor mapping and monitoring systems and 3D geovisualisation.

The annual Commercialisation Award recognises excellence in the commercialisation of research at NUI Maynooth.  We consider activity such as licence deals, spin-outs and linking with industry key factors in bringing research to the market place.  Previous winners include Ronan Farrell, the Callan Institute; John Lowry, Chemistry Department; Kevin Kavanagh and Sean Doyle, Biology Department and Ross O’Neill of Mutebutton (formerly the Hamilton Institute).
