The hidden energy cost of ICT: FLEET’s Dr Tich-Lam Nguyen speaking at the Monash Energy Conference
Working towards the overarching goal of creating pathways to translations of research outcomes, FLEET is building links with partners interested in novel electronic devices and systems.
Progress towards this important goal in 2019 includes:
- Working to include topological transistors in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) International Roadmap for Devices and Systems
- Lodging two provisional patents
- Collaborating on projects with Lockheed Martin, initiated by FLEET’s partner network
- Establishing preliminary links with major semiconductor foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to develop future collaborative projects
- Linking with the Monash Energy Institute to co-organise industry-engagement events.
In 2020, FLEET will focus on strengthening existing industry relationships and developing new links by:
- Tailoring the Centre’s message to industry – developing an information pack containing key capabilities FLEET can offer
- Identifying and pursuing opportunities to reach industry.
In addition, FLEET will hold a training workshop to increase members’ awareness of the industry engagement process, including:
- Showcasing success stories from academic research to spin-offs – demonstrating the commercial value of research outcomes
- Explaining the academia-industry partnership development process – with point of views from both industry and academia
- Illustrating university commercialisation processes at FLEET nodes
- Accessing industry grant opportunities
