Dr. Irvine-Halliday
- Visited Nepal in 1997 where he experienced the rough living
conditions of the villagers, unimaginable to most of us.
- Dr. Irvine-Halliday was concerned about the people and the conditions
they live in,
so he used his photonics background to help locals
have a better life by creating safe, healthy,
durable and affordable
lighting solutions. During this trip, Light Up The World initiative was born.
- Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Calgary
- Over 8000 homes have been light up thanks to Dr. Irvine-Halliday.
