Manage episode 350273577 series 2836862
Join the molpigs team for a discussion with Prof. Katherine Dunn from the University of Edinburgh about her work on using DNA nanotechnology for medical applications and her exciting new ideas regarding "electrosynbionics," using biological engineering to tackle hard problems in energy production and storage. She also discusses her experiences transitioning from terahertz spectroscopy to biophysics and the challenges in teaching and mentoring students to prepare them for a variety of career paths in today's interdisciplinary world.
Katherine completed her undergraduate degree in physics at the University of Oxford. She started a PhD there in Terahertz Spectroscopy before seeing the light and changing to DNA Origami. She has continued to study molecular programming within an engineering context, working on DNA nanomachines for bioelectronic computing at the University of York. She is now a Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, and has been named as one of the Top 50 Women in Engineering 2021 by the Women’s Engineering Society.
