Prof. Stefan Moser, ETHZ Bio: Stefan M. Moser received the diploma (M.Sc.) in electrical engineering in 1999, the M.Sc. degree in industrial management (M.B.A.) in 2003, and the Ph.D. degree (Dr. sc. techn.) in the field of information theory in 2004, all from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. From 1999 to 2003, he was a Research and Teaching Assistant, and from 2004 to 2005, he was a Senior Research Assistant with the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory at ETH Zurich. From 2005 to 2013, he has been a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan. Currently he is a Senior Researcher with the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory at ETH Zurich and an Adjunct Professor with Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Chiao Tung University. His research interests are in information theory and digital communications. Dr. Moser is recipient of the Wu Ta-You Memorial Award by the National Science Council of Taiwan in 2012, and the Best Paper Award for Young Scholars by the IEEE Communications Society Taipei and Tainan Chapters and the IEEE Information Theory Society Taipei Chapter in 2009. Further he received various awards from the National Chiao Tung University, so two awards for oustanding teaching in 2007 and 2012, and he was presented with the Willi Studer Award of ETH and the ETH Medal both in 1999, and with the Sandoz (Novartis) Basler Maturandenpreis in 1993. |

We are going to discuss a cute and simple channel model describing communication based on the exchange of chemical molecules in a drifting liquid medium. The idea is that a nano device communicates with another nano device by emitting molecules that travel in the fluid to the receiver. The information is encoded into the emission time of the molecules, and we impose average- and peak-delay constraints on the channel input. This model has been introduced by Srinivas, Eckford, and Adve in 2012, who also proposed first (pretty tight!) bounds on the capacity of this channel. We will show some improved bounds on the capacity, as well as various mathematical properties of the channel that allow us to numerically compute capacity exactly (up to computational precision
