SUMMARY:Algorithmic Self-assembly of DNA Nanoparticles
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jacob Hendricks\, Ph.D.\n\n\nComputer Science Assista
 nt Professor Candidate\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nWe are surrounded by an abunda
 nce of naturally occurring self-assembling systems which serve as a sourc
 e of scientific inspiration. These systems begin as disorganized collecti
 ons of simple components\, unaware of their surroundings and each other\,
  and without the guidance of any human interaction\, form complex structu
 res. This process\, called self-assembly\, is responsible for a wide vari
 ety of phenomena ranging from the formation of snowflakes to cellular gro
 wth in biological organisms. In this talk I will give an overview of my r
 esearch in the area of algorithmic self-assembly where the aim is to defi
 ne and study theoretical models of self-assembly.\n\n\nBio-Sketch:\n\n\nD
 r. Jacob Hendricks received a PhD in Computer Science from University of 
 Arkansas\, Fayetteville in 2015. He received an M.A. in Mathematics from 
 University of Texas\, Austin in 2008. His research interests are in theor
 etical computer science. He is interested in the theoretical and computat
 ional modeling of nanoparticles with the goal of understanding systems in
  which simple local interactions lead to complex global behaviors and/or 
 structures. \n\n\n
