Thesis proposal seminar passed

Passed my thesis proposal seminar! With generally positive comments. Only a handful of people came (coz of the location & lack of advertisement), but almost everyone asked questions (more means good). Yet I think I still need to learn to handle Q&A better.

Now ready to submit my proposal, and move on to the next stage. The next challenge is the research design. Outlined in my proposal but there are still lots of practical issues and uncertainties unsolved. Especially this is a medium-size project and we work with another team in CSIRO. Means it'll get more complex as things unfold. Will fix them in the coming months.

Another ongoing task is writing the literature review. It's really time-consuming, but exciting. I plan to produce at least two publications from this review. One to be published with Clive. My target is get the first draft done by September this year.
