Dr. Eric Dalton graduated with a first class honours degree in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick in 1999. Taking a postgraduate position in the Department of Physics, he investigated mass diffusion phenomena and critically of electromigration via ultra-low resistometric measurements. Dr. Dalton joined the Stokes Institute in 2003, where his initial research was on controlling polymer-chain-reactions in genomic research applications. Under the CTVR Telecommunications programme, Dr. Dalton investigated reliability issues on both high level applications such as PSUs under high stress conditions as well a more fundamental failure analysis with SMD-resistors under corrosive conditions. Dr. Dalton has worked with a larger number of international companies as a collaborator in programmes such as Science Foundation Ireland's Centres for Science, Engineering & Technology (CSETs), and Enterprise Ireland's Industrial-Led Research Programmes (ILRPs) and Innovation Partnerships, with companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia, TDK, Henkel and Mitsubishi. Furthermore Dr. Dalton has engaged various companies such as IGG Components, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Molex, and Analog Devices in a consultancy capacity for work on device thermal characterisation and reliability. Dr. Dalton is currently involved on the thermal and electrical characterisation techniques on electrodeposited nanowire arrays. He is author or co-author of over 15 technical articles and conference papers, and co-author of two book chapters.
