Woods, Damien (19..-....)
Damien Woods is at the Hamilton Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland, where his group conducts research on molecular computers: collections of carefully engineered DNA molecules that bump into each other and interact in a test tube to solve some mathematically specified computational problem. His focus is on both the underlying computational theory and implementation in the lab. The work is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and Science foundation Ireland (SFI).
He has traveled for a bit, doing research in Inria (France, 2016-2018), Caltech (USA, 2009-2016), University of Seville (Spain) and University College Cork (Ireland). His PhD is from Maynooth University (Ireland).
He enjoys whiteboarding, pipetting, AFMing and other scientific sports.

21 Molecular Algorithms Using Reprogrammable DNA Self-Assembly
The history of computing tells us that computers can be made of almost anything: silicon, gears and levers, neurons, flowing water, interacting particles or even light. Although lithographically
