"My dream job as a kid was to design iPods and iPhones so I guess I’m not a million miles away from that now.
I developed an interest in Engineering while studying for the Leaving Cert with my favourite subject being Design and Communication Graphics.
UL appealed to me because it offered a general year of Engineering first before you decide on which discipline to specialise in.
My favourite parts of the Mechanical Engineering course at UL were the practical aspects – the coursework where we learnt how to design and build products and learnt how to machine and test them.
The most important thing I learnt while studying at UL was how to problem solve. At the time I thought the endless modules in Mathematics were never going to help me in the real world, but looking back now these are really what make you become an Engineer and develop the attitude that any problem can be solved with the right mindset.
I was incredibly lucky with my co-op (work placement) when I secured a job in New York City designing HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems for sky scrapers and data centres.
Co-op is the best thing you can do to help you get a good job and actually learn how to work in the industry.
Because of that co-op experience and the portfolio I put together from my coursework at UL, I managed to secure a job at Dyson, the biggest innovator I could think of for designing and developing consumer electronics products.
After Dyson, I joined HiETA Technologies where I designed cooling systems for Formula 1 cars and the aerospace industry. My proudest moment was seeing a part I designed on Lewis Hamilton’s F1 car.
I'm now co-founder of Celsius Innovations and co-developed the MyCelsius Cooling Bracelet, a wearable device designed to help women manage hot flushes.
I’m really excited to build off this early success, scale our company and keep designing innovative products that really help people."
In this week's Alumni Spotlight, we chat to Mechanical Engineer and Product Designer, Aonghus O'Donovan, a graduate of UL's Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering.

Can touching history help you learn?
For her 4th year FYP Interaction Design student Annika has designed an interactive museum exhibit, that comes to life when you assemble a statue and place it on designated areas, class project Annika!
The 4th year students from @csisul will be exhibiting their FYP’s tomorrow in the CSIS building @universityoflimerick from 11:30am to 2:30pm - all are welcome to attend

Male reproductive health is in decline, but lab-produced sperm could revolutionise fertility care and restore hope to millions of people around the world affected by male infertility.
UL’s Dr Eoghan Cunnane, Associate Professor in Biomedical Materials Engineering, is leading a team of researchers who are working on making viable human sperm from lab-engineered tissue a reality.
Their research is attempting to overcome existing challenges in treating male infertility by combining biology with mechanical engineering and materials science.

#StayCurious
A group of 172 first-year engineering students—studying Aeronautical, Biomedical, Mechanical, and Design & Manufacture—have been divided into 35 teams and set a design challenge.
Each team must design and build a small car capable of carrying a specified payload up a 10-metre incline with a slope of 5°, completing the task in the shortest possible time. With thanks to Automated Industrial Robotics Shannon for sponsoring the event.

Can you engineer a material that is mainly made from water?
MSc in Mechanical Engineering student Petra Soda's FYP has developed sustainable hydrogels from seaweeds that can sourced from abundant marine biomass. These gels can be used for applications like contact lenses, wound dressing and tissue engineering.

The Final Year Project Demo Day for undergraduate students of the department of Computer Science and Information Systems at University of Limerick will take place on April 29th. Members of the public, the campus community, family and friends are invited to join and celebrate our students’ achievements with us. There will be a joint exhibition and individual demonstrations, screenings and performances from 11:00 to 14:30, followed by a reception. The event is taking place in the Computer Science building atrium and a number of laboratory spaces.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who might be interested in joining.
