Our former colleague Aravindh Krishnamoorthy has taken the final step towards obtaining the degree of Dr.-Ing. On Thursday, September 26, 2024, he successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Non-orthogonal Precoding and Decoding Schemes for 5G and Beyond Downlink MIMO Communication Systems”. ...

While conventional communication systems rely on electromagnetic waves, Molecular Communication (MC) encodes information into the properties of small particles. This allows communication between nodes with sizes on the order of nanometers and micrometers, and in fluidic and biological environments w...

Kenneth Mayer, Amine Lahmeri, and Lukas Brand attended and successfully presented their work at this year's IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Communications Society, in Denver, Colorado, USA. Robert Schober, President of the IEEE Co...

Amine Lahmeri and Lukas Brand won 3rd and 1st place, respectively, in the IEEE Communications Society's Four-Minute-Thesis (4MT) competition. The 4MT competition challenged graduate students to explain their research topic to a broad, non-specialist audience in just 4 minutes. In the preliminary rou...

IDC researchers Nikita Shanin, Hedieh Ajam, Vasilis K. Papanikolaou, Laura Cottatellucci, and Robert Schober have received Best Paper Award 2023 from the TAOS technical committee (TC) of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) for their Globecom 2023 paper: “EH Modelling and Achievable Rate for FSO...

IDC offers several open HIW positions in the exciting new interdisciplinary research field of molecular communication. You are interested? Then get in touch with Dr. Sebastian Lotter!

Our former colleague Nikita Shanin has taken the final step towards obtaining the degree of Dr.-Ing. On Friday, May 17, 2024, he successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Optimal Design of Communication Systems Based on Wireless Power Transfer with Non-linear Energy Harvesting”. Nikita, who was supervised by both Prof. Cottatellucci and Prof. Schober, investigated and optimized methods of wirelessly transmitting energy to small sensors placed in remote locations or perhaps inside the human body to recharge their batteries.

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.
