We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2025 SID Ben Sturgeon award is Dr Radu Sporea. 

Dr Sporea is Associate Professor in Semiconductor Devices at the University of Surrey, and holds an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship (2021-2026). He was RAEng Research Fellow (2011-2016), EPSRC PhD+ Fellow (2010-2011) and PhD researcher (2006 – 2010). Radu studied Computer Systems Engineering at “Politehnica” University, Bucharest, and worked as Design Engineer for Catalyst Semiconductor Romania on ultra-low-power CMOS analog circuits. Radu was named EPSRC Rising Star in 2014 and received the I K Brunel Award for Engineering in 2015, the Vice Chancellor’s award for Early Career Teaching in 2017 and the Tony Jeans Inspirational Teaching distinction in 2018. In 2021, he was a finalist for Innovator of the Year prize at Surrey. His research focuses on advanced thin-film transistors for improved manufacturability, large area sensors and sensor arrays for smart environments, and paper-based electronics and physical-digital interaction. He was chair of the IEEE EDS UK and Ireland chapter between 2022 and 2024.

SID UK and Ireland Chapter 2025 meeting and AGM

Tuesday March 18th

SID UK & Ireland hosted an in-person one day meeting on novel display technologies and display applications.
