Today at 10am I had my thesis defence. The 4 members or my supervisory committee attended in addition to an internal examiner (from SFU) and external examiner (from UBC). They all attended in person. I had a 20 minute presentation followed by questions. The whole process took about 3 hours. I received very positive feedback for my written thesis and I only have to do minor revisions.
A 5 years journey will soon come to an end. I am hoping that I can continue my load disaggregation, nonintrusive load monitoring or NILM, research. I would like to thank all those who have helped me with my studies.
I will have more to say in the next coming days, stay tuned…
