- Design Rules -

To get it clear for myself (as a person without any prior knowledge about the steric hybridization properties of DNA), I tried to set up some simple, engineering point-of-view rules for designing a plain sheet of DNA.

• 2D DNA sheet of more or less arbitrary shape (click here)

- Individual project -

Smart materials from DNA

For example by self-assembly of folded and connected DNA sheets, which will change their physical properties with environmental changes, e.g. pH. (click here)

Wafer level nano-resolution pattern transfer

To start from the very basics, produce a plane sheet, and a sheet that folds once. For double-checking possibilitiy, we included a step-height variation that should appear in the AFM image, and a correlation fluorescence dye.

The plain sheet

The two folded sheet (click here)

Pattern transfer?? Lot's of different possibilities that we want to give a try. But first, we have to be able to produce the very basics. The story will be continued..!

- Education -

Just graduated from the department of Microsystems Engineering.

Diploma-thesis (6-month compressed master's thesis) dealt with the fabrication of a solenoidal coil for MRI of cells.
