The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has approved the project "Innovative test platform for molecular communication and microsurgical training - fluorescence systems, novel prostheses and technologies" with funding of more than half a million euros for the years 2024-2026.
IDC molecular communication researchers led by Dr.-Ing. Max Schäfer contribute to this innovative, interdisciplinary project.
A new research training group at FAU is being funded by the German Research Foundation. The research training group entitled "Synthetic Molecular Communications Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments", or SyMoCADS for short, is led by Prof. Robert Schober and Prof. Kathrin Castiglione (Chair of Bioprocess Engineering).
The advent of sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication technology promises significant advancements, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerging as one of its key technologies. UAVs offer the capability to enhance coverage and bridge connectivity gaps in underserved regions, establishing line-...
Nikita Shanin won the 2nd Prize at the Four-Minute-Thesis (4MT) Competition organized by the IEEE Communications Society. The 4MT Competition challenged PhD students to explain their research topic to a broad non-specialist audience in just 4 minutes. In the preliminary round of the competition, the...
Free space optical (FSO) systems, due to their large bandwidth and secure and cost-efficient data transmission, are considered as suitable candidates for next generation wireless communication networks and beyond. However, they require a line-of-sight (LOS) connection between transmitter (Tx) and re...
Free space optical (FSO) systems, due to their large bandwidth and secure and cost-efficient data transmission, are considered as suitable candidates for next generation wireless communication networks and beyond. The point-to-point FSO channel requires a line-of-sight (LOS) link, which can be relax...
Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Lotter receives the VDE Bayern Award for his dissertation on molecular communications. His main research topic is molecular communication (MC), which is used in medical applications.
The Department of Electrical Engineering warmly welcomes Humboldt Research Fellow Prof. Dr. George Karagiannidis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) who is currently visiting Prof. Schober.
The lab course "Digital Communication" was evaluated very well in the winter semester 2022/23 and ranked 2nd in the teaching evaluation of the FAU Faculty of Engineering.
