Nanotechnology Seminar Series
05/04/2009
The primary focus of this seminar will be on robotic behaviors in single molecules. We start with legs implementing local residency rules, and build higher order behaviors by adding leg-leg communications, and introducing various sensors. Current robots walk directionally over prescriptive landscapes or walk randomly searching for sticky points. But, could they leave their well-controlled environments and interact with living tissues?
Milan N. Stojanovic, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Medical Sciences in Medicine (primary) and Biomedical Engineering (secondary appointment). His background is in chemistry, organic synthesis, and his current interest is in the synthetic mixture of molecules showing complex behaviors.
