8/10/2009 Kiriama website come to life...Welcome!
9/09/2009 Kiriama Pty Ltd launched at the 18th International Plastic Optical Fiber conference in Sydney, Australia.
Kiriama Pty Ltd has launched its new website. Any enquiries or feedback about the website will be welcome and much appreciated.
The International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers saw the launch of a new Australian company, Kiriama. Kiriama is commercializing a unique and award-winning type of polymer fibre, developed over several years of research at the University of Sydney. Kiriama CEO, Dr Alex Argyros, said, “The new polymer fibres have potential for use in mechanical sensing, ultra-fast broadband and the transmission of terahertz radiation. Terahertz radiation is increasingly used medically and forensically as a safer alternative to X-ray imaging, and for the detection of drugs and explosives. Kiriama is a dynamic step towards Australia’s photonic future.”
Professor Ben Eggleton, who launched the company, is one of Australia’s leading Photonics researchers as well as being the founding Director of the University’s Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS), and an ARC Federation Fellow. “It’s very important that we translate some of the world class research done here at the University of Sydney into technology opportunities that benefit the nation. This not only brings economic benefits in the short term but also fosters a culture of innovation and encourages high tech companies to prepare Australia for a smarter future. I’m delighted to be involved in launching Kiriama. Hopefully this is just the first of several spin-offs to emerge from IPOS.”
