NSERC USRA 2007 Starts

Today is my first day, and obviously I am not working very hard, as I am writing this blog at this time. But I will gradually improve :)

I met with Prof. Kschischang this morning and we talked about my project over the summer. It will be a topic on network coding and it sounds really interesting. I think it will be a fun problem to work on.

Meanwhile, I also need to acquire some stuff to get started. Graph theory is useful for any general networking research, and I will read some tutorial papers on network coding too. There will be a lot to be explored and hopefully I can achieve something.

PEY Finished

Yesterday was my last day at Altera Toronto, meaning that my PEY (Professional Experience Year) is finished.

It was a speical year, as I took a break from school and worked in an industry setting. I have learned quite a bit practical stuff, got to know how a business operates, as well as gained some insights into the whole semi-conductor industry. I also had lots of fun there and made quite a few friends. Though there were still many things could be better, I don't regret spending this year at Altera. On the whole, it has been a good year.

Now is the time to delve into summer research...
