Unconventional Communications and Computing Laboratory

Our mission is to research and build the future of cybernetics. This is an interdisciplinary research topic, that is increasingly motivated by industry interests (e.g. Neuralink, Meta and Microsoft). Our Unconventional Communications and Computing Laboratory (UC2 Lab) brings together researchers developing new technology for interfacing between biological organisms and the Internet.

We explore both in-silico (using computer simulations) and in-vitro (using cells) methods for deciphering how biological organisms can be controlled to provide new opportunities for new implantable devices, as well as for new novel therapies such as stem-cells or electroceuticals. AI and computational approaches are among the cornerstone of our solutions, as well as the exciting new area of molecular communications.

Our interdisciplinary team comprises academics from computer science, electronic engineering, bioinformatics, and biologists with a proven international profile and world-wide research impact. UC2 also welcomes UG and PGT students interested in developing novel and exciting technology.
