LirOptic, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is an innovative spin-out from University College Dublin (UCD), born from groundbreaking research in the UCD Physics Department.

Our core technology—solid-state, shapeshifting, and tunable lenses—was developed by Professor Dominic Zerulla and his highly skilled "ultra-fast nano optics" team. The cutting-edge work at UCD laid the foundation for LirOptic’s future in revolutionizing optics and imaging.

The journey from research to industry was further strengthened when Simon Forsyth & Joe O'Keeffe joined Professor Zerulla  to commercialize this breakthrough technology. 

LirOptic has gained significant traction and interest across various industries and the technology is poised to transform Compact Camera module (CCM) lens design for applications ranging from consumer electronics to space and defence - bringing the future of optics into sharper focus.

At LirOptic, we are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible utilising our technology.
