DESCRIPTION:Prof. Stefan Moser\, ETHZ\nBio: Stefan M. Moser received the d
 iploma (M.Sc.) in electrical engineering in 1999\, the M.Sc. degree in ind
 ustrial 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\, Switz
 erland.\nFrom 1999 to 2003\, he was a Research and Teaching Assistant\, an
 d from 2004 to 2005\, he was a Senior Research Assistant with the Signal a
 nd Information Processing Laboratory at ETH Zurich. From 2005 to 2013\, he
  has been a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer\nEngi
 neering at National Chiao Tung University (NCTU)\, Hsinchu\, Taiwan. Curre
 ntly he is a Senior Researcher with the Signal and Information Processing 
 Laboratory at ETH Zurich and an Adjunct Professor with Department of Elect
 rical and Computer Engineering at National Chiao Tung University. His rese
 arch interests are in information theory and digital communications.\nDr. 
 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 b
 y the IEEE Communications Society Taipei and Tainan Chapters and the IEEE 
 Information Theory Society Taipei Chapter in 2009. Further he received var
 ious awards from the National Chiao Tung University\, so two awards for ou
 standing teaching in 2007 and 2012\, and he was presented with the Willi S
 tuder Award of ETH and the ETH\nMedal both in 1999\, and with the Sandoz (
 Novartis) Basler Maturandenpreis in 1993.\nWe 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 d
 evice communicates with another nano device by emitting molecules that tra
 vel in the fluid to the receiver. The information is encoded into the emis
 sion time of the molecules\, and we impose average- and peak-delay constra
 ints on the channel input. This model has been introduced by Srinivas\, Ec
 kford\, 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 prec
