CSE493C: Advanced Special Topics: Molecular Computation

Description: Introduction to molecular computation that explores how "smart" molecules can be designed and programmed, using ideas that span computer science, to not only store and process information, but to self-assemble into complex structures with nanometer precision, to sense (bio-)chemical signals from their environment, perform robust computation, and in turn actuate a physical response. This course is self-contained and assumes no prior knowledge of biology, chemistry, nor prior experience in a wet lab. All majors interested in learning about and building programmable matter at the nanoscale are welcome.
