About this position
The Resilient Communication Systems Lab at the Technical University of Darmstadt is seeking a postdoctoral research assistant to develop the theoretical foundations of molecular communication-based sensing and reporting systems.
Molecular communication is an emerging communication-engineering paradigm in which information is encoded in signaling molecules through properties such as molecular type, quantity, and release timing rather than electromagnetic waves. The research is connected to emerging applications in biotechnology, medicine, and industrial monitoring, as well as the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things, where networks of nanomachines cooperate to perform complex tasks.
The project focuses on synthetic biological agents that sense environmental chemicals and change state in response to specific substances, such as tumor biomarkers. Networks of these agents may localize targets within complex vessel networks, including the cardiovascular system. The researcher will investigate the system-level capabilities, limitations, and fundamental performance of these technologies through theoretical modeling, algorithm design, and proof-of-concept implementation.
The role also includes contributing to the establishment of a molecular communication laboratory, supervising student projects, and supporting teaching activities related to molecular communication. The work is situated within the lab’s broader research on physical-layer modeling, system design and optimization, and performance analysis for 6G and beyond communication networks, with emphasis on communication and information theory and signal processing.
