Synthetic Molecular Communications Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments
Synthetic Molecular Communications Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments (SyMoCADS)
Research Training Group (RTG) 2950 SyMoCADS is a research training program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with the aim to educate scientists and engineers in this emerging interdisciplinary field of research. The RTG comprises of ten principal advisors (PAs) from the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science, the Medical Faculty, and the University Hospital. Research takes place in an excellent scientific environment at FAU, with top-notch instrumentation in the laboratories of the participating principal advisors (PAs).
The research program, consisting of 9 doctoral research projects (P1-P9) organized in 3 clusters (C1-C3) and a cross-cluster postdoctoral project (P10), and the structured qualification program aim to equip the participating researchers with the knowledge and skill set needed to significantly advance the field of molecular communication (MC) and to bring it to the realm of practical applications.
On Monday and Tuesday (February 10th and 11th), our first Alumni & Visitor Workshop took place at the training and conference center Vierzehnheiligen in Bad Staffelstein. Despite the rolling wave of flu and some last-minute cancellations, most of us made to the workshop on Monday and was able to...
