In this paradigm, the transmitter releases chemicals or molecules and encodes information on some property of these signals such as their timing or concentration. The signal then propagates the medium between the transmitter and the receiver through different means such as diffusion, until it arrives at the receiver where the signal is detected and the information decoded. This new multidisciplinary field can be used for in-body communication, secrecy, networking microscale and nanoscale devices, infrastructure monitoring in smart cities and industrial complexes, as well as for underwater communications. Since these systems are fundamentally different from telecommunication systems, most techniques that have been developed over the past few decades to advance radio technology cannot be applied to them directly.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p4\u0022\u003EIn this talk, we first explore some of the fundamental limits of molecular communication channels.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p4\u0022\u003EIn particular, we explore the fundamental capacity limits of the molecular timing channels, where information is encoded in the time of release of chemical signals. We also evaluate how capacity scales with respect to the number of particles released by the transmitter. Then, optimal detection in molecular timing channels is briefly discussed. We conclude the talk by presenting some of the recent experimental implementations of molecular communication systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p3\u0022\u003ENariman Farsad received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and engineering from York University, Toronto, Canada in 2010 and 2015, respectively. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he is a recipient of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship. Nariman has won the second prize in 2014 IEEE ComSoc Student Competition: Communications Technology Changing the World, the best demo award at INFOCOM\u20192015, and was recognized as a finalist for the 2014 Bell Labs Prize. He has been an Area Associate Editor for IEEE Journal of Selected Areas of Communication\u2014Special Issue on Emerging Technologies in Communications, and a Technical Reviewer for a number of journals including IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. He was also a member of the Technical Program Committees for the ICC\u20192015, BICT\u20192015, GLOBCOM\u20192015, and GLOBCOM\u20192016\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p4\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENariman Farsad will present \u0022Molecular Communication: Theoretical Limits and Experimental Implementations\u0022 on May 6 at 3 pm in the Centergy One Building, Room 5186.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Nariman Farsad will present \u0022Molecular Communication: Theoretical Limits and Experimental Implementations\u0022 on May 6 at 3 pm in the Centergy One Building, Room 5186."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2016-04-29 11:23:14","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:15:55","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-05-06T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-05-06T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-05-06T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-05-06 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-05-06 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-05-06 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ECordai Farrar\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-7890\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:cordai.farrar@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ecordai.farrar@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
