Month: August 2022

I just finished the written portion of my PhD comprehensive exam. They were actually quite excellent exams. The questions were way more open-ended than I expected. I spent 6.5 hours writing the first two days, 5.5 hours the third day and 10 hours today. I could have written a LOT more. The cool diagram above is one I created to describe the hardware for the system I designed as part of my research–but I am not a hardware guy so I do not have much of a clue about that. I mostly just wrote the software and designed the vision algorithms.

With the written portion of the comprehensive exam a little over a week away, it is nice to have our Tech Note show up in the Water Resources Research journal. After the comps, if I pass, it is on to the oral portion of the exam, my second to last class and the writing of a third article in the fall.
