Abstract
Rapid advancements in nanotechnology are making nano-scale computing and sensing devices within reach. This development is motivating research into the establishment of wireless communication between these tiny devices. While nano-scale communication networks have a huge potential for innovative applications in health, chemical, biomedical and many other sectors, we are facing major challenges for reliable data transmission at this scale. Research in nano communication network is at an embryonic stage, but is rapidly gaining momentum. In the first part of this talk, I will summarize the recent advances in this emerging field of research. In the second, I will discuss the nano communication research currently pursued in our group. Specifically, I will present a new application for nano communications for industrial chemistry, highlighting some of the unique challenges and our approaches to address them.
