The Defense
I had a great turn out for my defense. In a department where four or five students show up to a defense, I packed the room with more then twenty five. Thank you all for coming!
The presentation went really well (my committee even thought so), and again my stellar audience came through by asking four or five really good questions about the work. And the questions were even on topic! The closed door “grilling” went smoothly too. My committee had great, insightful, and critical questions that lead to some interesting discussions. I was really lucky to have such insightful and inspiring people to advise and critique my work. Thank you!
If you’re intersted in reading the dissertation or thumbing through the slides, I’ve posted them on my research page.
What’s Next
My advisor has kindly agreed to keep me on as a Post-Doctorial Researcher here at UT-Austin. Besides doing more of my own research, I’ll help organize and contribute to the research supported by the Pervasive Computing Test Bed. I’m really looking forward to tackling some of the really interesting problems of physical simulation, cyber-physical systems, and large-scale software systems.
