The Jedlik Laboratories

kep1211.jpg The Jedlik Laboratories (the Ányos Jedlik Research and development Laboratory) is a new Science-Education-Technology Center where the advantages of multidisciplinary work is emphasized in some important emerging fields of science and technology. In the beginning the key areas were Info-bionics and Sensor-computing, Tele-presence and Language Technologies. Nano-bio technology, VLSI IC design and some other areas have recently become important key areas as well.

Our mission is

  • to bridge the gap between forefront research, university education, and technology transfer, including competitive R&D projects, via the
  • daily interactions between research professors and students forming a unit
  • where innovation and learning are developing in concert, and
  • in close cooperation and with the support of a few leading research laboratories and high tech companies, worldwide. The other specific aspects of this center are
  • Live synergies of information technology and life sciences, in particular the neurosciences, genetics and immunology as well as certain aspects of the emerging field of nano-scale engineering and molecular bionics.
  • The synergy is supported via a hierarchy of models, including functional, macro, micro and nano-scale (molecular level) models, as well as analogue, digital and analog array -and-logic models, and including human and artificial language technologies.
  • Based on the sensor revolution and nano-scale technologies, the emerging fields of sensor-computing, telepresence, integrated communication and ad-hoc mobile networks, bio-compatible interfaces, as well as "smart" energy saving devices and integrated nano-micro systems, we are searching for new directions of applications, products and services to be developed.

Organization

The Jedlik Laboratories is organized within the Faculty of Information Technology in an active and institutional cooperation with the founding and later joined institutes. The founding Institutes: the Institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), namely the Computer and Automation Research Institute, the Research Institute for Experimental Medicine, the Neurobiology Research Unit at the Semmelweis University of Medicine of the HAS, the Research Institute of Technical Physics and Material Science, the Research Institute of Psychology, the Institute of Enzymology of the Biology Research Center of the HAS, the Gedeon RichterCo., the Ericsson Hungary Ltd., and a few SMEs. The cooperating international research laboratories are listed in the International relations section.
