Biography

Eoin O’Reilly was born in Dublin, Ireland, received the BA (MOD) degree in Theoretical Physics from Trinity College, Dublin, and obtained a PhD in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Cambridge. He was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Surrey in 1984, where he was head of the Department of Physics from 1997 to 2001. He joined Tyndall National Institute in 2001, following the award of one of the first Principal Investigator grants by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). O’Reilly was appointed Chief Scientist at Tyndall in 2014, and has held a joint appointment with the Department of Physics in University College Cork since 2007. His research seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of photonic materials and devices, to enable the design of structures for new capabilities and applications. His list of over 300 publications includes 10 book chapters, 9 invited reviews, an undergraduate text book and general science articles. He is currently Principal Investigator on a Science Foundation Ireland project on “Nanoscale Physics and Engineering of Optoelectronic Materials and Devices”. He coordinated two EU FP7 STREP projects: BIANCHO, on dilute bismide semiconductor lasers (2010-2014), and DEEPEN on multiscale simulation of electronic and photonic devices (2014-2016). He is a regular referee and adjudicator for a wide range of journals and funding agencies (~30-40 requests per year). He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) and of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET). O'Reilly was Chairman of the Board of the European Physical Society (EPS) Condensed Matter Division from 2006 to 2014. He is an Associate Editor of Semiconductor Science and Technology. He was a co-recipient in 2014 of the Rank Prize for Optoelectronics for his pioneering work on strained-layer semiconductor lasers.

Research Interests

Focused mainly on the physics and applications of semiconductor devices and materials, my research interests target:
• Prediction and elucidation of the benefits of band structure engineering for optoelectronic material and device applications
• The introduction and development of widely useful techniques to analyse semiconductor electronic structure and its consequences
• Leading understanding of the electronic structure of crystalline and amorphous semiconductors
• Close collaboration with experimental physicists and device specialists, to determine the dominant gain and loss processes in optoelectronic materials and hence design and engineer a new generation of photonic devices with improved functionality.
Overall, I have developed and lead one of the few groups worldwide which have the aim and capability to start from first principles investigations of fundamental processes and carry through to investigations that guide and lead the development of photonic devices with enhanced capability and functionality.
