Prof. Akyildiz has been involved with Universitat Politecnica de Cataluna since early 2000s and became an official Honorary Professor in June 2008. He has been spending the summers at the UPC conducting research and also teaching some classes. He had this idea of nano-scale communications and networking and suggested it to his long time friend and colleague Prof. Josep Sole Pareta to create a rsearch center at the UPC. Together they launched the center in 2008 and called it NanoNetworking Center in Cataluna (N3Cat). They had initial workshops and research activities, publications and also obtained projects from Spanish and European community research agencies and also companies. The Center is now on track under the leadership of Sergi Abadal whose career started within the N3Cat.
Further. Prof. Akyildiz (Life Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Erlangen–Nürnberg, Germany, in 1978, 1981, and 1984, respectively.
