Year 4: Feb 2015 - Feb 2016

7th September - 4th October, 2015

• Additional trials for extended SWARM2015 paper.
• Assembled some of the dipole components
• Poster, spotlight presentation and videos for SWARM2015 conference.

10th March - 3rd September, 2015

• SWARM2015 paper submitted on: 25th May, 2015.
• Tracking of components in a self-assembling system preliminary thesis submitted by Nicolas on: 28th May, 2015.
• Theoretical Computer Science paper submitted on: 12th August, 2015.
• Camera ready version of SWARM2015 paper submitted on: 1st September, 2015.

2nd March - 9th March, 2015

• WBI Application submitted on 3rd March, 2015.
• 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

• Try out new lead pellets for conformational switching experiments

• Clean up shared Dropbox folder, svn up all changes.
