Subject: [Assam] Let's give a round of
applause
We are proud of this Assamese-American professor in New York state. He
has been quietly working in this field for several years but he does not talk
about it in public.

MARCY - SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome has been
named the headquarters for a seven-university effort to conduct
pioneering research into molecular computer technology.
The center was announced in statements issued Tuesday by
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-New
Hartford. The federal government will provide $750,000 for the
SUNY Institute of Nano-Bio Molecular Information Technology
Incubator, they said.
The center will research ways to develop more efficient
computers through nanotechnology, a scientific discipline that
uses the smallest building blocks of matter in applications such
as computer technology. The center unique in the Mohawk Valley.
Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito, D-Rome, said the move would
benefit the region's work force and institutions of higher
learning.
"Anytime you add value to our academic system, it's a
plus," she said. "Applied technology and research are the jobs of
the future. We can build a better economy around this type of
activity."
The center would be part of a collaborative effort
involving SUNYIT and six other state colleges - New York
University, Cornell University, Rochester Institute of Technology,
SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oneonta and Binghamton State University.
The center's goal is to foster development of a new
industrial base in New York state in a unique technology area,
Boehlert and Schumer said.
"This new effort at SUNYIT will help New York state
companies leverage this cutting-edge, NASA-fueled research at Rome
and train the next generation of scientists and engineers in a
promising field," Boehlert said.
SUNYIT President Peter Spina said he was delighted the
Mohawk Valley had been chosen as the headquarters for the center
and that the school was partnered with what he called a "Who's Who
of high-level research."
"It's a real research stimulator," Spina said. "We have a
research-oriented faculty, and this will be a real shot in the arm
for them."
Spina said it could be several years before research could
actually begin as the center seeks additional partners.
Digen Das, a professor in SUNYIT's Department of
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Technology, will serve as
director of the new center. He said SUNYIT has been working in the
area of biocomputing for the past five years at the Air Force
Research Laboratory in Rome.
Das said the seven participating schools met in the
fall of 2004 and agreed to develop a center to explore the new
technology. Das will serve as director of the new center
"All of my colleagues are very excited," Das said.
"We've been ready for this day for quite some time
