Title: Algorithmic Self-Assembly: Models and Problems
Speaker: Ashish Goel, Stanford University
Abstract:
Self-assembly has emerged as an important technique for molecular computation and nano-technology. At these scales, self-assembly is governed by simple (and local) probabilistic rules for growth.
We will discuss two important challenges in algorithmic self-assembly, robustness and efficiency.
This talk will present recent results, and also attempt to provide a road-map of open problems.
