DESCRIPTION:By : Karin Strauss from Microsoft Research and Luis Ceze from 
 the University of Washington\nVideo of their talk\n\nAbstract :\nDNA data 
 storage is an attractive option for digital datastorage because of its ext
 reme density\, durability and eternal relevance. This is especially attrac
 tive when contrasted with the exponential growth in world-wide digital dat
 a production. In this talk\, we will present our efforts in building an en
 d-to-end system\, from the computational component of encoding and decodin
 g to the molecularbiology component of random access\, sequencing and flui
 dics automation. We will also discuss some early efforts in building a hyb
 rid electronic/molecular computer system that has the potential to offer m
 ore than just data storage.\n\nBio:\nKarin Strauss is a Senior Researcher 
 at Microsoft and an Affiliate Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering 
 at the University of Washington. Her research areas are computer architect
 ure\, systems and biology. As Moore's law runs out of steam\, she has been
  interested in finding alternative technologies that continue moving the I
 T industry forward. Her current focus is on DNA-based data storage and com
 putation. Her research has been featured prominently in the media includin
 g New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, MIT Technology Review\, and Le Mo
 nde\, among others. She has over 80 papers and inventions in these areas\,
  had multiple papers selected as IEEE Micro Top Picks in Computer Architec
 ture\, and was selected as one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business
  by the Fast Company Magazine in 2016.  \n\nLuis Ceze is a Professor of 
 Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. His rese
 arch focuses on the intersection between computer architecture\, programmi
 ng languages and biology. His current focus is on approximate computing an
 d DNA-based data storage. He has co-authored over 100 papers in these area
 s\, and had several papers selected as IEEE Micro Top Picks and CACM Resea
 rch Highlights. His research has been featured prominently in the media in
 cluding NewYork Times\, Popular Science\, MIT Technology Review\, Wall Str
 eet Journal\, among others. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award\, a S
 loan Research Fellowship\, a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship\,the IE
 EE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award and UIUC Distinguished Alumni Award
 . He is a member of the DARPA ISAT and MEC study groups\, and consults for
  Microsoft.\n\nMore information on Karin Strauss\nMore information on Luis
