PhD Scholarship: Fundamentals of Molecular Communications in Complex Environments

The aim is to understand the fundamental advantages and limitations of molecular communications in complex environments and exploit its potential. Despite the abundant use of molecular signalling in nature, we lack knowledge in this area and as such have not exploited its potential in various bioengineering applications such as drug delivery and Internet of Nano Things. In the foreseeable future the demand for small devices that can coordinate and communicate with each other to complete a precision task will grow. In nano-medicine alone, the market for targeted drug-delivery is estimated to be over $520 billion by 2019 with a 16% CAGR. This 3.5-year funded project will focus on understanding the performance of molecular communications in complex diffusion environments that are relevant to a number of envisaged application scenarios. A combination of theory, simulation, and experimentation methodologies will be used to give confidence to the findings.
