TU Berlin - Fully-Funded PhD Position in the field of Molecular Communication and the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT) 2025

We are looking for talented students who want to pursue their PhD studies at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, TU Berlin, Germany. The positions are part of the Telecommunication Networks group headed by Prof. Falko Dressler. Conventional wireless communication systems are based on radio frequency waves. Even though perfectly suited for classic telecommunication tasks, communicating nodes of nano- or micro-scale size, possibly interfacing with biological cells, and/or operating in challenging environments (e.g., liquids) need to employ alternative communication paradigms and technologies like molecular communication. In the IoBNT project, we will investigate and develop a communication system targeting precision medicine and microscale industrial applications. The IoBNT is tailored to coordinate monitoring and actuation in the human body through a communication platform that also connects nanodevices and external gateways. The IoBNT will integrate radio, ultrasonic, and molecular communication schemes in the context of 6G+ wireless networks. The candidate is expected to contribute to these ongoing research activities in the scope of the ongoing projects IoBNT and NaBoCom.
