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.
In their latest journal publication, SyMoCADS researchers address the implementation gap in molecular communications (MC), which describes the large discrepancy between theoretical vision and practical implementation in MC. Typically, communication engineers can assume that sufficient compute power ...
We are very pleased to announce that our associate - Timo Jakumeit - from the Institute for Digital Communications has won the IEEE ComSoc MBMC-TC (Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications Technical Committee) logo competition. Out of five submissions in the final short list, Timo's log...
As part of the ongoing Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) project, representatns of IDC - Maximilian Schäfer, Sebastian Lotter, Timo Jakumeit - together with Daniela Wegner (Institute of Bioprocess Engineering), and Apurwa Jagtap (Institute for Electronics Engineering) recently attended a workshop ...
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...
