I am a PhD student of the GRK 1305/1 “Plant Signal Systems” program in Freiburg University[http://www.plant-signals.uni-freiburg.de/]. I work on detection and visualization of Arabidopsis thaliana root mRNA in Prof. Palme’s research group[http://www.biologie.uni-freiburg.de/forschung/botanik.php]. I am interested in bringing science and design together. I like DNA and iGEM Competition.

Individual project: Nike nano collection (Blouse and Skirt)
The dress design is more interesting than a chip design (to my opinion ;). It is very individual and very fashionable. We want to follow the fashion, don’t we?
On the another hand, a broad range of variable forms can be important for an artificial life. I play with DNA like with my Barbie doll.
The idea was to knit a nice blouse for Barbie without any boundary conditions. I used two methods of knitting:
1) rectilinear merge pattern, and
2) staggered merge pattern
In the terms of Paul Rothemund. The first one is simpler for understanding; the second one is more practical for patterning. Only if you used the staggered merge pattern, you can put all hairpins onto one side of the knitted DNA sheet with a maximal density.
Have a look on the pictures:
This design is for [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/tech_reference/restriction_enzymes/sequences/m13mp18.txt M13mp18] scaffold DNA. I use the fork hairpin

to create the Nike-logo pattern.
Other ones would be:

Your choose!
My photos will help you.
