This $100,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities, under the Engineering (47.041) program, will support research at Boise State University to develop a co-design model integrating DNA nanotechnology and two-dimensional materials for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and workforce development. Specifically, the University will design DNA nanostructure templates for atomic precision patterning and doping of 2D materials to create 2D synapses and neuromorphic circuits. This has the goal of advancing non-Von Neumann computing technologies to help reduce global computing energy demands. The University of Pittsburgh will contribute to the research through DNA-templated doping and modification of 2D materials under a subaward as part of this collaborative effort.
