Introduction

Background

  • The literature review section of my rapport d'avancement covers about 60% of work that I will cover in my doctoral thesis

Theoretical treatment of incompatible substructure problem

  • SWARM2015 conference paper presents initial findings of yield predictions [published]
  • Extended yield predictions journal paper [not yet published]

Approaches to solve the incompatible substructure problem

Self-assembly
Changing geometry
Conformational switching
Use of high inertia components
  • Massimo suggested, and I agree, that I write an "approaches to the yield predictions" paper. In that paper, I would include the aforementioned approaches. [not yet published]

Dynamics of aggregating / self-assembling systems

  • Nicolas has developed visual tracking system and used it to find:
    • Time evolution of aggregation
    • Distance distribution
    • Velocity distribution
  • Collaboration with Korean Institute of Science and Technology [Leon Abelmann, Tijmen Hageman, etc.]
    • Found the different energy regimes for our aggregating system
    • Established that outside the ballistic regime, the components perform "random walk"
      • The data neatly fits into a Rayleigh distribution
