Iestyn Pierce is a professor in electronic engineering at the school of Computer Science and Engineering. His research has focused on the numerical modelling of engineering systems, including optical communications components and systems and, more recently, on control systems in low-carbon energy. Iestyn is co-author on more than 30 journal articles and 90 conference publications. He was the leader of the nuclear power work package of the EU-Funded (£4.6m) SEEC project at 91¾«Æ·ºÚÁϳԹÏ, which led to an interest in distributed wireless sensor networks in forestry management (in mid Wales) and in monitoring saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, in collaboration with the University of Can Tho Dragon Institute, with initial funding (£22k) from Global Wales.

He chairs the Engineering Centre for North and Mid Wales, a voluntary organisation which provides experiences of the engineering profession to hundreds of school pupils across the region every year.

Iestyn is co-chair of the Science subject panel of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol (the Welsh national college for Welsh medium education), having previously chaired the coleg's Physical Sciences panel.

At Bangor he co-supervises an international team project module for engineering students, with collaborators in Mexico, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Vietnam working on interdisciplinary projects, often with an emphasis on sustainable products and services. 

• PhD: Wavelet Theory of Optical Pulse Propagation
  1998
• Other: MEng Electronic Engineering
  University College of North Wales, 1994
• Professional: Chartered Physicist
  Institute of Physics,

Iestyn is currently working on the design and implementation of distributed, wireless sensor networks with applications in environmental monitoring and distributed power generation.

He has expertise in the deployment of LoRaWAN-based sensor networks in remote environments.

Iestyn is also embarking on a programme of work utilising hardware-in-the-loop simulation methods for electronic control systems in low carbon energy production.

• Introduction. Technology and innovation are at the heart of our world; they are the future. Recent advances in communication, transportation, healthcare provision and entertainment have transformed our society but there are continued challenges too. The underlying reason for these developments is the increased use of semiconductor devices in modern electronics. Inside every cutting-edge consumer product there is at least one semiconductor chip which is essential to their functioning and processing speed. And it’s down to Engineers to develop these chips, design the circuits and write the embedded software code.

  Did you know that Wales hosts the world’s first compound semiconductor cluster? Were you aware that the UK Electronics/semiconductor industry is one of the largest in the world? You can be part of this industry; developing the next generation of chips and electronic devices and helping produce the technological solutions needed by society.

  Today, we will answer these questions:

  • What are semiconductors and how these are linked to Electronics, Computer Science and Physics.

  • What is it like to study Electronic Engineering/Electrical Engineering/Computer Science/Physics in Higher Education.

  • What is like to work as an Engineer in the Electronics and semiconductors industry?

  During the day you will hear from engineers, and interns working in Electronics and semiconductor companies, and from academics and students at our university. You will be able to ask questions and find out more about their work, what they studied and why they decided to follow this degree/career. You will also get an introduction to microcontrollers by using the Grove Beginner Kit. This is yours to keep.
