Revision as of 22:49, 7 July 2005
The UT Austin team, like last year, is extremely informal. We have no classes nor particularly organized meetings. Anyone who wishes to contribute is welcome to do so. Thanks to the natural enthusiasm of our team and occasional whip cracking from Andy we have made some interesting progress.
Last year we planned on building a light activated edge detector. Thanks to the the incredible contribution of an engineered light detector from Anselm Levskaya at [http://www.voigtlab.ucsf.edu/ Voigt Lab UCSF] we were able to take bacterial photographs (publication pending). This was only the first step in our planned goal and in fact we are still working on building the edge detector.
This year we have several project plans which, if they don't self-assemble into green goo and eat the molecular biology building, should be fairly amusing. Being at heart a bunch of hackers, we believe that the greatest contribution to the field will come from actual experiments and thus we are plowing ahead with our experiments with minimal simulation work. Descriptions to come.
