“We study the design and fabrication of nanostructures as applied specifically to the fabrication of future computing and sensor systems: devices-to-computer architecture.”
Chris Dwyer
Assistant Professor

“We aim for developing novel scientific devices and methods for applications in biomolecular physics, biological chemistry, and molecular medicine. To this end, we seek to use DNA to build nanometer-scale devices with atomically precise features.”
Hendrik Dietz
Professor

FNANO is a yearly conference on foundations of nanoscience, maintaining the highest scientific standards. Self-assembly is the central theme of the conference. Topics include self-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale. Methodologies include both experimental as well as theoretical approaches. The conference spans many traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines including MEMS. |

DNA Computing and Molecular Programming (DNA18) The Eighteenth International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming Aarhus, Denmark, August 14-17, 2012 Important deadlines: papers April 2 (notification of acceptance May 14), posters June 1(notification of acceptance June 15); revised manuscripts due June 15, registration June 20 See the Conference Webpage. |
Biomolecular computing has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that draws together chemistry, computer science, mathematics, molecular biology, and physics. Our knowledge of DNA nanotechnology and biomolecular computing increases dramatically with every passing year. The international meeting on DNA Computing has been a forum where scientists with different backgrounds, yet sharing a common interest in biomolecular computing, meet and present their latest results. Continuing this tradition, the 17th International Meeting on DNA Computing, under the auspices of the International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation and Engineering (ISNSCE), will focus on the current theoretical and experimental results with the greatest impact. |
