Master student Nicolas starts today.
- I've set up a git repo for the TrackingOfSelfAssembly project. Nicolas, Marco, you and I have access to this repo.
- His immediate deliverable to the university is a state of the art section as well as a brief project proposal.
- Thus far he has setup OpenCV. He is able to capture image stream and store the frames sequentially.
- His next steps will be to detect blobs, and then tracking using frame differencing.

Towards our work with Andrew
- In depth lit review to see if the work we propose has already been done.
- Write out outline: relevant literature, physical experiment set up, experiment procedure, analytical model, discussion
