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.
