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 Saturday, October 12, 2024, hundreds of runners laced up their sports shoes, met in Erlangen’s Schlossgarten and ran for a good cause. And we were there too! Our representation the SyMoCADS Run Club – SyMoCATS – demonstrated both creativity – by designing their own shirts – and fitness, and gave ...
July has been a very productive month for SyMoCADS. Another conference paper has just been accepted. This time, Lukas Brand and Sebastian Lotter successfully submitted their paper discussing semantic information as a possible post-Shannon approach to answer the fundamental question: "What can be a u...
This year’s ACM NanoCom will take place on October 28-30 in Milan, Italy, and two papers from our ranks have recently been accepted. Teena tom Dieck (Project P3), together with other SyMoCADS’ members, published her first paper, introducing a novel optically controllable molecular communication tra...
What a great start! Our first retreat took place on July 15th and 16th in Waischenfeld. The first day of the retreat was filled with talks introducing the Research Training Group 2950 and the individual projects. After the poster session, during which SyMoCADS associates presented their research, ou...
On Wednesday, July 10, our young researchers completed the first, mandatory key skills course from our qualification program - "Introduction to Research Data Management". Our lecturers – Dr. Jürgen Rohrwild and Dr. Marcus Walther – did a very good job explaining the basics and importance of RDM and ...
