Offer Description

Group: Prof. Tim Liedl , LMU Faculty of Physics

Within this project you will design and characterise bistable DNA origami nanostructures capable of controllable mechanical switching in combination with optical actuation and readout. By engineering nanoscale beams and integrating actuators, the work will explore how DNA-based tiles can buckle between defined mechanical states and how these transitions can be detected via plasmonic and optical coupling. The project aims to establish reconfigurable nano- and opto-mechanical devices with ultra-sensitive, fast, and low-energy optical control within the ERC Synergy scheme DNA for Reconfigurable Nano-Opto-Mechanical Systems, DNA4RENOMS.
