Strong SyMoCADS Participation at NanoCom ’25 in Chengdu
Researchers from the SyMoCADS team successfully showcased their latest work at the 12th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (NanoCom 2025), held in Chengdu, China, from October 23–25.
Alongside SyMoCADS spokesperson Prof. Robert Schober and Mercator Fellow Prof. Yansha Deng, the following team members represented the consortium at one of the leading events in the molecular communication community: Luiz Wille, Keyu Xiao, Sümeyye Carkit-Yilmaz, Kaikai Zhu, Bastian Heinlein, Dr. Sebastian Lotter, and Dr. Maximilian Schäfer.
Prof. Robert Schober gave a keynote with the title „The Future of Molecular Communication Research“, where he outlined the vision for application-oriented MC research that combines experiments and theoretical advances.
SyMoCADS researchers presented the following posters:
- Airborne Molecular Communication Using MOS Sensors under Controlled Airflow (Kaikai Zhu)
- Experimental Analysis of Surface-induced Molecular Adsorption in Static Airborne Molecular Communication Environments (Sümeyye Carkit-Yilmaz)
- Effect of the Injection Design on Drug Targeting in Molecular Communication (Luiz Wille)
- Simulation and Experimental Validation of Agglomerate Size Distribution in Ferrofluid (Keyu Xiao)
Furthermore, SyMoCADS researchers have contributed to several papers accepted for presentation:
- Molecule Mixture Detection and Alphabet Design for Non-linear, Cross-reactive Receiver Arrays in MC (by Bastian Heinlein)
- Neural Network based Distance Estimation for Branched Molecular Communication Systems (by Martin Schottlender, Universidad de Buenos Aires, with Maximilian Schäfer and Ricardo A. Veiga)
- In Vivo Molecular Communication through Synthetic Biology: A Case Study (by Rinrada Jadsadaphongphaibool, King’s College London, United Kiongdom, with Dadi Bi, Yansha Deng, Robert Schober and Javier Macia Santamaria)
- Synthetic MC via Biological Transmitters: Therapeutic Modulation of the Gut-Brain Axis (by Sebastian Lotter with Elisabeth Mohr , Andrina Rutsch, Lukas Brand, Francesca Ronchi and Laura Díaz-Marugán)
- MC for Agriculture: A Framework for Nature-inspired Sustainable Pest Control (by Fardad Vakilipoor with Nora Hirschmann, Julian Schladt, Stefan Schwab; Annette Reineke, Robert Schober, Kathrin Castiglione and Maximilian Schäfer)
- Closed-Loop Molecular Communication with Local and Global Degradation: Modeling and ISI Analysis (by Lukas Brand with Fardad Vakilipoor, Sören Botsch, Timo Jakumeit, Sebastian Lotter, Robert Schober and Maximilian Schäfer)
Finally, Dr. Maximilian Schäfer was not only involved in several of the presented papers but also a member of the NanoCom organization comitee.
Congratulations to all participants for their outstanding work and for representing SyMoCADS on this international stage!
