Short Bio
Good tidings! This is Rajiv, a PhD student in the CompSci department at Duke. Here, I work with Prof. John Reif in the field of Natural Computing (huh?). Some sane people refer to this field as DNA Computing, as we use synthetic DNA oligonucleotides to perform various computations in the chemical medium. When I am not worried about my future, I like to play chess/badminton, read classical literature, and watch movies.
