Nucleic-acids structures are fascinating materials as resultants of evolutionary process. We are driving to engineer various types of nucleic-acids to exhibit artificial functionality, based on programmed structures. Main interest lies in modeling and designing nucleic-acid structures alongside experiments, to realize novel ideas to the nanoscale world.

Computational approaches based on mechanics and physics enable us to simulate complex systems and to even predict unseen phenomena. It is always an exciting challenge to develop fundamental algorithms or integrate different approaches, ranging from atomic-scale (molecular dynamics) to continuum-scale methods (finite element analysis).
