The Montreal Chapters of Systems, Man & Cybernetics (SMC) cordially invite you to attend the following in-person talk, to be given by Dr. Giancarlo Fortino (IEEE Fellow), Full Professor of Computer Engineering at the Department of Informatics, Modeling, Electronics, and Systems, University of Calabria (Italy). Co-sponsored by: Concordia University Speaker(s): Dr. Giancarlo Fortino Room: EV003.309, Bldg: EV Building, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3G 1M8

6G wireless systems are expected to offer ubiquitous connectivity in presently under-served areas, potentially provided by satellite- and space-based internet-of-things applications. In the search for enabling technologies to achieve these expectations, molecular communication is an important alternative to conventional electromagnetic-based wireless communication. In this talk, we give a brief introduction to molecular communication, and discuss how it may be used to communicate in "wave-denied" environments, where connectivity is desired, but wireless cannot be used. We also show that molecular communication can achieve surprisingly high information rates, theoretically unlimited and practically in the gigabit-per-second range, making it a compelling technology for 6G. We finish with a discussion of the current state of the field and propose some experimental next steps. Speaker(s): Dr. Andrew Eckford, Room: EV003.309, Bldg: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, 1515 St. Catherine St. West, , , Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3G 2W1
