• Franz Zürcher
• Olga Nikolayeva
• Alexandra Choutko
• Arthur Korn
• Robert Schütz
• Marco Terzer

Information that's nice to have on the user page:

• email adress
• instant messenger or webphone or whatever contact information
• photo (we want to make some at the meeting at 7/20)

Bear in mind that this stuff is all made public.

Informal meeting

After today`s lab there was the idea of an informal meeting at monday for doing some brainstorming. Would this fit for everyone? What time would fit best? For further discussion we may use the discussion page.

I think to get an idea when people can come we should make a list here (easier than the other one, just enter a line for you and make marks where you can come):

Monday 17th July

Names                08   09   10   11   12   13    14    15    16    17   18    19

Availability chart

Sorry Alexandra, the table I made is terrible to edit, so I think we can use that: [http://www.doodle.ch/dpstPwMnysUQ]

The meaning of the marks is inverted!! (to save clicking work on your part I hope ;))

Project Ideas

Last years brainstorming: Previous_Ideas

...some first ideas...

• An implementation of the 'Game of Life" or another cellular automata
  • cell color indicates state
  • cell live indicates state (self destruct)
  • stepping could be done by an exogenious signal, so each step is a process converging to a steady state
• A kind of a simple ALU: at least two simple logic functions and a multiplexer
• An implementation of a full-adder: 1-bit adder with carry
• sensing
  • acousic
  • pressure
  • electric
  • magnetic
  • light
  • temperature
  • chemicals
• frequency discrimination
• synchronize oscillations among cells (or have emergent synchronous oscillations in the culture)
• fire squad: get bacteria to find a reaction on the plate and extinguish it
• propagate a pulse in culture
• bacteria sensing high atmoshpere and switching to produce ozon (to refill ozon holes)

During the physical brainstorming the following restrictions where discussed, which we where unsure how severe they are:

• E. coli can't move (Seems Penn state had moving E. Coli last year: Penn_StateProjectDes)
• need to control growth to stabilize cell culture structures if they are desired
