The Timeline
| 2009 Spring | We have begun preliminary testing and solidified major aspects of our methodology. |
| 2009 Summer | We will complete the algorithm, and locate and purchase specific machines and supplies for testing the solar cells. |
| 2009 Fall | Most of the data collection will be conducted at this time. These initial findings will be presented at the Junior Colloquia, and we would meanwhile draft sections I, II, and III of our thesis. |
| 2009 Winter | Any members of the team who live near the University of Maryland campus may continue testing the solar cells, while everyone will continue the revision of the first three sections of our thesis. |
| 2010 Spring | We will continue testing and compare results with those of our untreated control cells. Afterwards, we will analyze our data to determine which combination of pigments is most efficient and display our findings at Undergraduate Research Day. |
| 2010 Summer | We will begin writing the last two sections of our thesis and start the final revision process. |
| 2010 Fall | After fixing problems encountered in our research, we will finish revising our thesis and submit it for approval. |
