Abstract

The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, located on the campus of the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, was conceived in 1983, when two groups of campus administrators and professors were asked by Theodore L. Brown, then vice chancellor for research, to come up with a plan to facilitate research on the Illinois campus. The whole institute had been structured to focus on three related research areas: molecular and electronic nanostructures, biological intelligence, and human-computer intelligent interaction. These three main research themes are outlined
