Welcome to Nathan Stevens' homepage and project web site. Here you will find information on current software and science projects, both for work and for fun. The title, "Molecules and Code", exemplifies my two areas of interest, materials chemistry and programing. Fortunately, I have been able to combine these two areas into my research projects.

One of my projects involves the use of the sol-gel method to fabricate high quality inorganic/organic composite films doped with various organic dyes. The targeted applications of these films are in the areas of non-linear optical switching devices (previous work) and nanoscale optical sensors. In addition, I am also working on the developement of new fluorescent probes and techniques for the detection and in vivo imaging of RNA/DNA.
