Göteborg: Thesis starting?

Unless someone will offer me a sack of money to do something else, I will go to Beijing in January and start the project at Ericsson. Today I talked to my supervisors (I've got two!) at my university and they think it seem to be a good project. They are two really friendly chaps and it was very encouraging to talk to them. One worry is that so far I haven't been able to get any benefits from Ericsson, with other words, I won't cost them any money. That can have the undesirable effect that my project will get a very low priority. So, now I will start to figure out what the thesis is actually about... ;-)


Per, who is originally from Denmark, has adopted a kid from the Xinjiang province in China and has been there several times. He actually just came back from Beijing since he was there as a part of a delegation when a couple of Swedish universities opened offices at Peking University and Fudan university (Link in Swedish).

Magnus, who has a very colorful homepage, is actually a director at the university. Might open some doors for me.

Perhaps my fellow classmates recognize these guys from the Electronic Measurement course.

Anyway, I passed the Complex Variables exam that I wrote a month ago! In the new course 48 out of 89 students passed. I think normally there are around 100-110 students left after a year from the 140 accepted. So, half of the students that grade (not including older students) will have to spend Christmas studying.

When I get my funding application ready I will probably book a flight in the middle of January. Next Wednesday (15th November) I will fly back to Belgium, then the 20th of December I will come back to Sweden to celebrate Christmas with the family and Wen. In January I will hopefully finish off my final exams (Fourier Analysis & Solid State Physics).
