TIPS Profiles: Women in STEM

Niamh Richardson BEng

Researcher, Nokia Bell Labs

Role on Project: PhD Researcher

Niamh Richardson built Meccano and watched her father, an electronic engineer, work from a young age, stemming an interest in mathematics and engineering. Throughout school she was very interested in mathematics and technical drawing. Studied biomedical engineering in UL during which she developed an interest in microfluidics, completing her FYP in that area. After college, she worked for 6 months as a research assistant for a company working in microfluidics. Following that she began her PhD research within the TIPS project, based in the University of Limerick and working with Nokia Bell Labs, Dublin. Her work focuses on microfluidics and thermodynamics — the viability of microchannels for use as microTEC coolers.
