UMS Talk – A Mathematical Theory of Communication and Google Submarine Networks

By Dr. Valey Kamalov

Abstract: This is what I do for a living: build submarine fiber optic cables. It is a fascinated business, and I want to share with you my experience. My most recent engagement with 95 students from 30 countries last summer was very positive, click here for more info; I will tell you more at the talk.

Also, I will touch Shannon’s Mathematical Theory of Communication, in connection with fiber-optic networks–just to prove that you have to attend classes. I also hope to find some students who are interested to teach other students remotely, which will be the topic for the second hour of the meeting.
