Grey Goo, Bio-Nanotechnology, Self-Assembly and the Potential of Artificial Life - Petr Šulc #260

from THE ONE'S CHANGING THE WORLD -PODCAST · host THE ONE'S CHANGING THE WORLD - future tech meets sustainability podcast in India

Petr Šulc’s research focuses on application of computational modeling and statistical physics approaches to complex systems. In particular, his group uses computational models to study problems in biology, and bio-inspired nanotechnology systems. He is mainly interested in nucleic acids modeling (DNA and RNA) using coarse-grained models, which allow for simulations of longer time-scales and larger systems than if fully-atomistic representation is used. Such an approach is allows for efficient studies of nanotechnology system, as well as biologically relevant interactions between nucleic acids.His research group is furthermore interested in applying computer simulations and statistical physics analysis to study properties of RNA molecules in vivo, in relation to RNAs expressed in tumor cells and viral genomes. The research is done in active collaboration with experimental groups.He is an assistant professor at ASU. Prior to ASU, he was a fellow in physics and biology with The Rockefeller University (2014-2017) and served as a graduate research assistant with the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico (2009-2010). His prior research also involved mathematical modeling and optimization of smart-grid systems.https://www.public.asu.edu/~psulc/https://twitter.com/petr_sulcWatch our highest-viewed videos: 1-DR R VIJAYARAGHAVAN - PROF & PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AT TIFR India’s 1st Quantum Computer- https://youtu.be/ldKFbHb8nvQ2-TATA MOTORS- DRIVING THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY IN INDIA- SHAILESH CHANDRA- MD: TATAMOTORS-https://youtu.be/M2Ey0fHmZJ03-MIT REPORT PREDICTS SOCIETAL COLLAPSE BY 2040 - GAYA HERRINGTON -DIR SUSTAINABILITY: KPMG-https://youtu.be/Jz29GOyVt044-WORLDS 1ST HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANTATION- DR SERGIO CANAVERO -https://youtu.be/KY_rtubs6Lc5-DR HAROLD KATCHER - CTO NUGENICS RESEARCH Breakthrough in Age Reversal-https://youtu.be/214jry8z3d46-Head of Artificial Intelligence-JIO - Shailesh Kumar https://youtu.be/q2yR14rkmZQ7-STARTUP FROM INDIA AIMING FOR LEVEL 5 AUTONOMY - SANJEEV SHARMA CEO SWAAYATT ROBOTS -https://youtu.be/Wg7SqmIsSew8-MAN BEHIND GOOGLE QUANTUM SUPREMACY - JOHN MARTINIS  -https://youtu.be/Y6ZaeNlVRsE9-BANKING 4.0 - BRETT KING FUTURIST, BESTSELLING AUTHOR & FOUNDER MOVEN -https://youtu.be/2bxHAai0UG010-E-VTOL & HYPERLOOP- FUTURE OF INDIA" S MOBILITY- SATYANARAYANA CHAKRAVARTHY https://youtu.be/ZiK0EAelFYY11-HOW NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING WILL ACCELERATE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - PROF SHUBHAM SAHAY- IIT KANPUR-https://youtu.be/sMjkG0jGCBs12-INDIA'S QUANTUM COMPUTING INDUSTRY- PROF ARUN K PATI -DIRECTOR QETCI- https://youtu.be/Et98nkwiA8wConnect & Follow us at: https://in.linkedin.com/in/eddieavil https://in.linkedin.com/company/change-transform-india https://www.facebook.com/changetransformindia/ https://twitter.com/intothechange https://www.instagram.com/changetransformindia/ Listen to the Audio Podcast at: https://anchor.fm/transform-impossible https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-i-m-possibleid1497201007?uo=4 https://open.spotify.com/show/56IZXdzH7M0OZUIZDb5mUZ https://www.breaker.audio/change-i-m-possible https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xMjg4YzRmMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw Don't Forget to Subscribewww.youtube.com/@toctwpodcast
