My Ph.D Updates
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
This is just to share with you my Ph.D updates. It has been already137 days since I registered as a Ph.D student.
1. Quartz reactor
I'm going to used quartz tube as a reactor for my experimental research. The funny thing is I'm having difficulties in getting them. I don't understand all these manufacturers/suppliers. I have contacted 4 quartz tube manufacturer around the world. They responded, but after I gave them my design, none of them return back to me. Are they genuinely quartz manufacturer? If you know any reliable quartz tube manufacturer, please help me. Thanks. That's it, I only need new quartz tube with my own design to begin my experiments.
2. Preparing my First Stage Proposal
I'm in the midst of preparing my Ph.D proposal . I wish I can complete them as soon as possible and present them in my second semester.
3. Learning Matlab
I've just started working on the thermodynamic studies of my reaction. It is not a simple task learning and doing all this. I need to study the reaction kinetics of the reactions. Calculate the heat enthalphy and Gibbs Free energy. Then use Matlab software to simulate the reactions. My supervisor insist me to use Matlab. Now, I need help in Matlab.
4. Paper presentation
I'll be presenting 2 papers this coming December, both in a national level conference. One is ESTEC'09 which is hosted by Universiti Malaysia Trengganu (UMT) and the other one will is RCSSST'09 hosted by Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UNIMAP).
5. Journals ???
I'm also preparing my first paper to be submitted to a journal I haven't decide yet. Need to get them ready fast.
