The talk by Prof. Pawel Kulakowski, on “Nanoscale Communications”, will take place on May, 7 at 5 p.m.
The talk will discuss the possible means for nanocommunications, i.e. communication between future nanomachines. An overview of possible approaches will be given, including miniaturization of existing communication devices, building nanomachines from basic blocks and molecular communication motivated by the communication mechanisms already existing in biology. The talk will later focus on the phenomenon of FRET (Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer). FRET can provide viable communication means on nanodistances with propagation delays of few nano-seconds only. The theory of FRET will be introduced, followed by a report on experiments on its performance performed in the last few years. The last part of the talk will present some further simulation studies, showing possible applications of FRET-based nanocommunication.
Venue: Abreu Faro amphitheatre, located at the Complexo Interdisciplinar.
