DNA Origami based superconducting nanostructures

DNA origami is a process of molecular self-folding which result in the formation of a pre-defined nanoscale structures. These nanostructures are addressable with nanometer precision, making them suitable for building precise organization of functional materials. The goal of my research is to fabricate complex 3D superconducting nanostructures exploiting DNA origami as scaffold. Such structures are important for both basic physics (e.g., for the study of quantum fluctuations) and for applications (e.g., for fabricating miniature components for molecular electronics).
