  • MVP Open Day 2011 at Cambridge

    Microsoft Research arranged MVP Open Day 2011 at Cambridge on Oct 24, 2011. Beautiful university, made me feel like giving up my job and going back to study. Amazing research work going there, very thought provoking. The session on DNA programming was out of the world. The most surprising thing I learnt that a 10cm long DNA strand can hold 10TB digitally encoded data and cells are thousand times more robust computing system than silicon based chips. Moreover, cells are self-powered, super energy efficient micro processors, hundred years ahead of Intel processors.
