Through this catalytic planning visit, Prof. Eylem Ekici of Ohio State University (OSU) will initiate cooperative research with partners in Spain to examine nano-scale communication systems. Spanish counterparts, led by Prof. Albert Cabellos with the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, have expertise in molecular communication in nanoscale networks and are based at the Nanonetworking Center (N3Cat) in Catalonia. Their strengths complement those of the OSU research team in carbon nanotube antennas. Together, the goal is to refine and develop plans for a cooperative research project to build hybrid nano-communication networks that combine desirable characteristics observed in electromagnetic wave information transmission (RF-based) and in molecular diffusion information transmission. If successful, their efforts may lead to innovative design approaches to nano-scale communication components and networks that are capable of acting together to handle complex tasks.Contributions to development of new communication paradigms with integrated nano/molecular subsystems are among the broader impacts anticipated from the planned long-term collaboration. Results may lead to improved nanosystems with future applications in environmental and biomedical situations where nanodevices provide an interface between biological phenomena and electronic devices. Furthermore, because graduate students will be part of this US-Spanish collaboration, they are expected to benefit from interdisciplinary course work inspired by the team's latest findings and from their early career introduction to international research in the emerging field of communications engineering.

通过这次催化计划访问，俄亥俄州州立大学（OSU）的Eylem Ekici教授将与西班牙的合作伙伴开展合作研究，以研究纳米级通信系统。 由卡塔卢尼亚理工大学的Albert Cabellos教授领导的西班牙同行拥有纳米级网络中分子通信的专业知识，并位于加泰罗尼亚的纳米工作中心（N3 Cat）。 他们的优势补充了OSU研究团队在碳纳米管天线方面的优势。 共同的目标是完善和开发合作研究项目的计划，以建立混合纳米通信网络，联合收割机结合在电磁波信息传输（基于RF）和分子扩散信息传输中观察到的理想特性。 如果成功的话，他们的努力可能会导致创新的设计方法，以纳米尺度的通信组件和网络，能够共同行动，以处理复杂的tasks.Contributions与集成纳米/分子子系统的新的通信范例的发展是从计划的长期合作预期的更广泛的影响。 结果可能会导致改进的纳米系统与未来的应用环境和生物医学的情况下，纳米器件提供了生物现象和电子器件之间的接口。 此外，由于研究生将成为美国-西班牙合作的一部分，他们将受益于团队最新发现的跨学科课程工作，以及他们在新兴通信工程领域的国际研究的早期职业介绍。
