Modeling

Modeling

Mathematical models and computer simulations provide a great way to describe the function and operation of BioBrick Parts and Devices. Synthetic Biology is an engineering discipline, and part of engineering is simulation and modeling to determine the behavior of your design before you build it. Designing and simulating can be iterated many times in a computer before moving to the lab. This award is for teams who build a model of their system and use it to inform system design or simulate expected behavior in conjunction with experiments in the wetlab.

Gold Medal Criterion #3

Convince the judges that your project's design and/or implementation is based on insight you have gained from modeling. This could be either a new model you develop or the implementation of a model from a previous team. You must thoroughly document your model's contribution to your project on your team's wiki, including assumptions, relevant data, model results, and a clear explanation of your model that anyone can understand.

The model should impact your project design in a meaningful way. Modeling may include, but is not limited to, deterministic, exploratory, molecular dynamic, and stochastic models. Teams may also explore the physical modeling of a single component within a system or utilize mathematical modeling for predicting function of a more complex device.

Please see the 2018 Medals Page for more information.

Best Model Special Prize

To compete for the Best Model prize, please describe your work on this page and also fill out the description on the judging form. Please note you can compete for both the gold medal criterion #3 and the best model prize with this page.

You must also delete the message box on the top of this page to be eligible for the Best Model Prize.

Inspiration

Here are a few examples from previous teams:

Why modeling ? Descriptions of our goals

As our project was growing, we understood the importance of modeling our solution. Indeed, even if we had some laboratory experiments to test our traps, it would have take time to be able to start them. A model run on a computer would have allowed us to begin those test earlyier, and make them quicker. This type of model would also have grant us more iteration of these experiments. All these advantages would have allowed us to start statistic tests earlyer, and in the end, would have helped us to build a better program. For all these reasons, modeling our project was one of our top priority.

When we begun, we various parameters to test :

  • the effect of furnitures on diffusion
  • the effect of air flows on diffusion
  • the effect of the “packing” mode of the phermones and fungus on diffusion and infection


Unfortunately, among the three parameters we firstly wanted to try, only one have been successfully ad to the program, because of contradiction between two part of the code or because of ...
