About Me Life Examples of Research What do I really want to express? Conclusions Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Contents A relaxed talk of research.

EX1: Playing Table Tennis (1/2) A play ground at Building 2 I cant play it at all in the beginning Prof. Chang says Playing table tennis well is a process of doing research. And what he further adds?

EX1: Playing Table Tennis (2/2) Benefits: To know people at playing it I even play it when I was in oversea Championship

EX2: People Asked: What is your research? My research is doing scheduling problems. I wont go through the details. Instead, I will: Give the most relevant scheduling problems he/she knows. Discover a lot of examples they can understand! PS: Our life is also a scheduling problem ; )

EX3: Cooking I cant cook anything by 2007/9. Research ability saves my life in UK! Have a big fun in cooking.

EX4: How to improve the traffic jams? A big city may encounter this problem. At least 10 approaches. It is your show time!

EX5: Programming Teaching and Applications Research C Java C++ C# Python Matlab VB.Net

EX6: 1st Year Teaching at NHU Something different We treasure creative ideas

What is a research? Research Framework Discover an interesting problem Problem Find a good method to solve the problem Algorithm

Research Progress Improve? Analysis and Discussions Implement an algorithm My Approaches 1.Read (papers) 2.Deep thinking 3.Start to do it 4.Any new interesting results? 5.Write them down 6.Go to Step 2. More Details

What is the implication for you? Everything is the matter of fun! How to make yourself happy when doing research? Suggestions: Time Management English Logic One Researcher You Should Know ---Prof. Randy Pausch
