Dr Lynette Keeney credits her chemist parents for nurturing her childhood interest in how things are made. She is now a materials scientist specialising in multiferroics.
Late last year, Dr Lynette Keeney was awarded funding worth nearly €1m for her deep-tech research project investigating new materials for the production of energy-efficient data storage and devices.
Her work is particularly important given that as a society we are generating more and more data every year. Where and how can we store it all? And can we use new materials to help facilitate this storage?
