Vivid Sydney - Lights collide talks

30/5/2019

 
Mark your calendars for the 11th of June - we are adding new colours to the Sydney Vivid Festival! 

Very excited to be part of the Lights Collide event at Vivid Sydney - organised by the NSW Department of Industry. 


The event will hear from researchers, innnovators, and start-ups that work across the light spectrum. 

Miriad is proud to wave the flag for the mid-infared wavelengths and all the exciting applications we find in this space!

TEDxSydney - Being part of the 'legacy' we leave behind

30/5/2019

 
TEDxSydney was held at the Sydney ICC - under the theme of "legacy" - on the 30th of March . St. George Bank, being the principle sponsor of TEDxSydney, held its annual Kick Start 2019 competition. Miriad was selected as a finalist (of 1000 applicants!) to pitch in just 60 seconds about our business. 

Unfortunately we did not get to walk out with 1st prize - but it was an honour being part of such a big event, networking with other start-ups and businesses in the area. Congratulations to the winners of Get to Sleep Easy and Pointer Remote Roles!

Science and Tech Expo Day - reaching out to the community

13/8/2018

 
To kick off National Science Week 2018, the Northern Sydney Science Hub hosted a Science and Tech Expo Day at Ryde Library, inviting members of the public, students of all levels (elementary to university) , and citizen scientist to learn more from a range of tech-devolopments happening in Sydney today.
Picture
Part of the expo day featured the ""Lightning talks" - a series of presentations given by entrepreneurs and businesses that are related to scientific instrumentation. Tomonori Hu, co-founder of Miriad Technologies, presented the talk "Seeing the invisible with infrared imaging" to (hopefully) inspire the younger audience to develop an interest in following a career in science.

Miriad Technologies has been glad to be part of  National Science Week and wishes the best for remainder of the week!  We would also like to thank the organisers of the event - the Northern Sydney Science  Hub and the City of Ryde for hosting us.

World-first optical fiber laser promises to revolutionalise detection of gases

29/9/2017

 
Miriad Technologies are extremely grateful to have been part of an international research collaboration; between Macquarie University (Australia) and McGill University (Canada).  The research, lead by Dr. Darren Hudson, resulted in a >2 octave super continuum generation based on an ultrafast mid-IR fiber laser. We provided support towards the development of the laser system using our Miriad S3 spectrometers, which allowed real-time optimisation of the generated supercontinuum. Details of the research is available here in the Optica publication "Towards all-fiber supercontinuum spanning the mid-infrared".   

We thank everyone in the research for allowing us to contribute towards a small part of their work. We hope the development of the Miriad S3 Spectrometer will further aid researchers in this field. 

More details on the applications and context are available in a Macquarie University media release here.

Updates from academia...

26/1/2017

 
Researchers from Macquarie University have reported ground-breaking results of an ultrafast fiber laser operating in the mid-infrared - "High -power mid-infrared femtosecond fiber laser in the water vapor transmission window". 

S. Antipov et. al., have demonstrated 180 fs pulses at a wavelength of 2.9 microns, which avoids the water vapor contamination at slightly lower wavelengths. This fantastic work paves the way for laser ablation of human tissue and industrial materials modifications.

We would like to thanks the authors of the paper to acknowledging the contributions from Miriad Technologies made to this great work. 

Miriad making waves at Google SYD! 

21/5/2016

May 17th saw the Knowledge Commercialisation Australia (KCA) Demo Day at Google Sydney. A total of eight start ups got together to pitch their ideas to a crowd of investors, researchers, and members of the general public. Miriad Technologies, nominated to present by James Alexander from the Incubate program, pitched on the development of mid-infrared spectrometers for applications in sensor technologies. 

On top of visiting the incredible facilities that Google Sydney offers, we had some great mentoring from the greatest minds on start ups and growing businesses. Big thanks to those who came along and wishing the best for the other starts-ups that did so well this night! 

Below: Tomonori Hu pitching the future of mid-IR technologies to "see the invisible".

Why would you want mid-IR cameras? 

10/5/2016

 
​
A nice gem on why we need a mid-IR camera as opposed to a generic infrared camera. We often say in the research community that "mid-IR is in the fingerprint region", "there is a mid-IR transparency window in the atmosphere", "mid-IR..."...etc. In particular the lower end of the mid-infrared, 1-5 microns, has some interesting applications beginning with methane sensing.

Another important application - seeing through flames when doing thermography. Andy Whitcher highlights in this video that a portion of the mid-IR can penetrate through flames, giving clear information through, for instance, a furnace.

An interesting conversation on Innovation in Australia

31/3/2016

 
Picture
The ABC show Q&A featured the topic of Innovation in Australia, featuring a University of Sydney research representative - Dr. Michael Biercuk. The program sparked interesting conversation regarding the national innovation statement, and whether the ratio of funding into university research and small stage start-ups is making sense.

The need of government support and investment into all levels of innovation from early stage start up Incubators and next generation technologies like Quantum Computers was discussed. Miriad Technologies, founded by University of Sydney researchers, also feels responsible to show active involvement in this conversation in future. Great to see that Australia is now seriously having this discussion to catch up to the rest of the world. 

The full program available here.
