Our former colleague Nikita Shanin has taken the final step towards obtaining the degree of Dr.-Ing. On Friday, May 17, 2024, he successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Optimal Design of Communication Systems Based on Wireless Power Transfer with Non-linear Energy Harvesting”. Nikita, who was supervised by both Prof. Cottatellucci and Prof. Schober, investigated and optimized methods of wirelessly transmitting energy to small sensors placed in remote locations or perhaps inside the human body to recharge their batteries.

The lab course "Digital Communication" was evaluated very well in the winter semester 2022/23 and ranked 2nd in the teaching evaluation of the FAU Faculty of Engineering.

Former and current IDC members Alex Yu, Dongfang Xu, Ying Sun, Derrick Wing Kwan Ng, and Robert Schober received the IEEE ComSoc Leonard G. Abraham Prize for their paper “Robust and Secure Wireless Communications via Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces”, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, vol. 38, no. 11, pp.2637-2652, Nov. 2020.
