Academic Activities

2nd March - 9th 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
