Molecular Algorithms.

During the last decade, bio-chemical molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins have been used in ingenious ways to perform engineering tasks in a laboratory setting in vitro (i.e. outside any biological cell). DNA and RNA in particular are very promising since their functionality is largely combinatorial which allows us to reason about these molecules algorithmically. The algorithmic primitives provided by nucleic acids and enzymes are both rich and powerful. How can we use these basic primitives (such as base pairing, enzymatic reactions,  strand invasion etc) to perform programmable engineering tasks such as self-assembly, computation, and actuation? While the hard work in this field is being done by experimentalists, I believe that theory also has an important role to play.

 

General algorithms/theory papers.

 

A small representative set of publications: If you would like to get a quick flavor of my research (e.g., if you are a student), please look at the following papers. There are not my “best papers”, and I wouldn’t know how to define such a set, but they best represent my current and evolving research interests.

Thesis: Algorithms for Network Routing, Multicasting, Switching, and Design. Computer Science Department, Stanford University. July, 1999. Advisor: Serge Plotkin.
