In this contribution, we report on the experimental investigation of an ultra-dense wavelength-division multiplexing (UDWDM) upstream link with up to 700 × 2.488 Gb/s polarization-division multiplexing differential quadrature phase-shift keying parallel upstream user channels transmitted over 80 km of standard single-mode fiber. We discuss challenges of the digital signal processing in the optical line terminal arising from the joint reception of several upstream user channels. We present solutions for resource and cost-efficient realization of the required channel separation, matched filtering, down-conversion and decimation as well as realization of the clock recovery and polarization demultiplexing for each individual channel.

Despite being a high-resolution separation technique, deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) technology is facing multiple challenges with regard to design, manufacture, and operation of pertinent devices. This work specifically aims at alleviating difficulties associated with design and manufacture of DLD chips. The process of design and production of computer-aided design (CAD) mask layout files that are typically required for computational modeling analysis, optimization, as well as for manufacturing DLD-based micro/nanofluidic chips is complex, time-consuming, and often necessitates a high level of expertise in the field.

Protein phosphorylation signaling networks have a central role in how cells sense and respond to their environment. We engineered artificial phosphorylation networks in which reversible enzymatic phosphorylation cycles were assembled from modular protein domain parts and wired together to create synthetic phosphorylation circuits in human cells. Our design scheme enabled model-guided tuning of circuit function and the ability to make diverse network connections; synthetic phosphorylation circuits can be coupled to upstream cell surface receptors to enable fast-timescale sensing of extracellular ligands, and downstream connections can regulate gene expression.

Microfluidic droplets, with their unique properties and broad applications, are essential in in chemical, biological, and materials synthesis research. Despite the flourishing studies on artificial intelligence-accelerated microfluidics, most research efforts have focused on the upstream design phase of microfluidic systems. Generating user-desired microfluidic droplets still remains laborious, inefficient, and time-consuming.

Rapid, point-of-care tests are critical for early diagnosis of disease and detection of biological threats. Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are well-suited for point-of-care testing due to their ease of use and straightforward readout. However, limitations in sensitivity, quantification, and integration into sample-to-result systems indicate the need for further advancements.

Federated learning (FL) enables a decentralized machine learning paradigm for multiple clients to collaboratively train a generalized global model without sharing their private data. Most existing works have focused on designing FL systems for unimodal data, limiting their potential to exploit valuable multimodal data for future personalized applications. Moreover, the majority of FL approaches still rely on labeled data at the client side, which is often constrained by the inability of users to self-annotate their data in real-world applications.
