Aledia
Aidan Rooney is a Materials Characterisation Engineer at Aledia, focusing on characterising novel LED structures and developing analysis techniques since February 2021. Prior experience includes a role as a Postdoctoral Researcher at CEA-LETI from January 2019 to January 2021, where Aidan worked on developing novel characterisation methods for nano-scale semiconductor systems and collaborated with CNRS on high-resolution electron microscopy to characterise electric fields in nanowires. Aidan's research at Aalto University School of Science and Technology involved studying structural phase transitions in two-dimensional semiconducting materials using high-resolution aberration corrected TEM during a postdoctoral position in early 2018. Earlier experience includes a student internship at SINTEF, where Aidan set up a hydrogen fuel cell testing station and investigated fuel cell durability. Aidan Rooney holds a PhD in Materials Science from The University of Manchester and an MChem (Hons) in Materials Chemistry from the University of St Andrews.

Aledia
Aledia develops and manufactures innovative light-emitting diodes based on a unique 3D architecture using gallium-nitride on-silicon microwires.The technology uses standard silicon wafers with diameters of 8 inches (200 mm) and existing CMOS wafer-fabrication processes and tools, enabling the production of LED chips at 25 percent of the cost oftraditional planar LED chips. The process and tools help develop both mobile displays and microdisplays for AR/VR applications, enabling users to use them for direct-view displays such as for smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops. In 2011, Giorgio Anania, Philippe Gilet, and Xavier Hugon co-founded the Grenoble, Rhone-Alpes-based company.
