Master Thesis Defense

Graduated with 9.0/10.0 from TUDelft CESE programme. Achieving overall GPA of 8.57/10.0 through the entire study.

I include preface from my thesis below:

Writing this preface marks the end of my Master’s journey, a cloth woven with experiences and memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. During a farewell with friends, I described them as shooting stars streaking across my sky one night. I may not know where they came from or where they are heading to, but that matters little. What matters is the brilliance they cast upon that night, and that is enough. I cannot recall whether I have had nights like this before, but I am certain that more such nights await me in the future. That night, the sky adorned with lights, is something I will treasure forever.

I want to express my gratitude to Guohao for all he has given to me during this time, from guidance on my thesis to mindset towards life. He often describes himself as a strict person, and indeed he is, he tolerates nothing less than perfection. Yet, he is also remarkably gentle, gentle in a way that I could always perceive without the need for words.

I also want to thank Xucong for his support in every context. He is direct, he is optimistic, and he has the ability to cheer up the spirits of those surrounding him. If I one day find myself in a position like his today, he will forever remind me of how to approach the world around me.

Lastly, my deepest thanks are for my mother. Though it has been years since I last saw her in person, each time we call she soothes my restless heart. Her words of wisdom have always been my compass while I sail towards the unknown future. She is the love of my life, now and always.
