“These scholarships will truly benefit the next generation of
students who wish to study at UL and broaden their cultural
horizons,” said Josephine Page, Director of International
Education, UL.
Harvey Duthie, UL Foundation’s CEO said, “We thank Analog
Devices for its generous support. Through these scholarships, we
look forward to welcoming many more American students to UL.”
The scholarship programs’ namesake, Peter Real, received a
bachelor’s degree in Electronic Systems from the University of
Limerick (formerly the National Institute for Higher Education) in
1981. Mr. Real enjoyed a successful engineering career including
serving as CTO of ADI where he led and defined the company’s
technological vision. He held strong ties to both the United States
and Ireland, having worked at ADI in both countries. In 2019, Mr.
Real was posthumously recognized at the University of Limerick’s
Annual Alumni awards for his outstanding contributions to science
and technology.
“Peter was an engineering industry giant, holding nine patents
and having deep experience across different engineering roles,
mentoring many future engineering and business leaders. Throughout
his career, Peter nurtured technology development at UL as well as
in the United States and advised many research bodies across the
globe,” said Martin Cotter, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales
and Digital Marketing at Analog Devices and a close colleague of
Mr. Real’s for many years. “When we thought about how to recognize
Peter’s contribution to our company and to the industry, it was a
natural decision to fund scholarships that represented his personal
and professional relationships with the United States, Ireland and
the University of Limerick.”
