Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the world’s most common neurological conditions and the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults, especially women. While there is currently no cure for MS, the condition can be managed through specialized help. The H2020 4 years B-CRATOS project, coordinated by Our Department started on March 1^st, 2021 and aims at creating the first battery-free high-speed wireless in-body communication platform to overcome technological barriers and help individuals with MS. 

The future, where we humans could control prosthetic parts of our bodies with our thoughts, is getting each time closer. In that direction, progress is now being made as part of an EU project in which researchers from the Division of Solid-State Electronics are making it possible for the brain to communicate with smarter prostheses via wireless networks inside the body. A new paradigm of wireless communication inside the body and an artificial skin with improved tactile capacity are among the foreseen groundbreaking developments. The coordinator of this EU project entitled B-CRATOS is Robin Augustine from the Division of Solid-State Electronics.

17 December 2020 – We are proud to inform you that the Horizon 2020 funded project SINTEC has received the award as best project website at the 2020 .eu web awards for the category "Laurels" dedicated to EU projects, educational institution and charitable organizations.

Chenyu Wen received a postdoctoral project from The Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) in Spring 2020, with the title Transport of Ions and Molecules in Nanoscale Channels for Protein Analysis – TIMPANI. 

Chenyu Wen has received a generous postdoctoral scholarship from The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The host will be Prof. Martin Z. Bazant at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The project will last for two years and hopefully be launched before the end of 2020. 

Dr. Apurba Dev gives his docent lecture in the subject of electrical engineering with specialization in Biological and Medical sensor technology.

You are cordially invited to a lecture by Dr. Fabrice Nemouchi from CEA-LETI on Friday, the 20th of September.  The title of the lecture is ' 3D integration the building blocks of upcoming technologies'.  The abstract of the lecture and the short CV of Dr. Nemouchi are provided below. 

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship (MSCA IF) provides an allowance to cover most of the living costs and travel as well as family costs. In addition, the EU contributes to the training, networking and research costs of the fellow, as well as to the management and indirect costs of the project.  The next deadline is 11 September 2019.
