We are excited to announce that Maximilian Schäfer has been appointed W3 Heisenberg Professor of Molecular Communications Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)! This is an outstanding achievement and a major milestone for molecular communications research at FAU.
The new professorship and the newly established experimental lab will be attached to the Institute for Digital Communications (IDC) and is funded through the Heisenberg Programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The programme is one of Germany’s most prestigious funding schemes for researchers and supports outstanding scientists who are qualified for a permanent professorship.
With this professorship, molecular communications now has a permanent home at FAU. Building on the close collaboration between Maximilian Schäfer and Robert Schober, it will further strengthen IDC’s research in this field.
Congratulations, Maximilian! We look forward to the exciting research ahead.
