School of Computing Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor Massimiliano Pierobon received two awards at the 11th annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (NanoCom 2024), held Oct. 28–30 in Milan, Italy.
Pierobon was recognized with a Best Presentation Award for his presentation, “Fitness Value of Subjective Information for Living Organisms.” School of Computing graduate and Ph.D. candidate Tyler Barker was the first author of this publication. The paper examines the fitness value of subjective information within information theory, such as the context-dependent value of different kinds of information.
Pierobon also received a Best Poster Presentation Award for his poster, “Preliminary Characterization of a Redox-Based Electrical-to-Molecular Communication Channel.” The first author of this publication was Karthik Reddy Gorla, who received his Ph.D. from the School of Computing and is currently a postdoctoral appointee the school. This paper explores redox electrochemistry, which is a novel approach that facilitates the translation of information between molecular and electrical domains.
ACM NanoCom aims to increase the visibility of the growing research area of nanotechnology to the wider computing and communication research communities as well as bring together researchers from diverse disciplines that can foster and develop new paradigms for nanoscale devices. Due to the highly inter-disciplinary nature of this field of research, the conference aims to attract researchers and academics from various areas of study such as electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, bioengineering, biotechnology, materials science, nanotechnology, who have an interest in computing and communications at the nanoscale.
