Julia's Ph.D. study
First time in long time, Julia was told that she had very good education from the most important person in her career in 2017. She could not believe that she got so good education and richness of experience of industry and academic fields, even though she quit in 2011 without a Ph.D. degree.
So many good experience through her Ph.D. study spanning whole 10 years from 2000 to 2010. She could name 10 of them in a row:
1. Two years intern at Motorola iDen group, city of Plantation, Florida from 2000 to 2002
2. Teaching assistant work on introduction to programming, logic design and micro process lab.
3. Network research
4. Freedom to choose several graduate courses: education leadership, biology statistics, introduction to cryptography
5. Write one book chapter
6. Intern at a startup company called Siva near 1 year and then full time work less than 10 months at Par Tech
7. Start a Chinese living water bible club around 2004
8. Go back to Ph.d. study in 2007
9. Write one book chapter and one conference paper, supported by National science foundation, supervised by Professor Jie Wu.
10. Work on research on anonymity protocol research, advised by professor Hanqi Zhuang, Mihaela Cardei.
Graduate study
Julia took one graduate course in education department when she worked on computer science Ph.D. in 2005, and also she took "biology statistics" mathematics graduate course by mathematics department professor Lianfen Qian as well, Introduction to Cryptography by mathematics department professor Markus Schmidmeier. She learned so many things through the mathematics courses, the way to prove things, reasoning and hard-working spirit to work on the math problems.
She tried to innovate her Ph.D. study on computer science, and also tried a lot of ideas, for example, she worked as a teaching assistant in information technology department to grade C# programming course a few semesters, teaching assistant of the information department professor Qing Hu. She attended so many talks provided by visitors from the world, and she had chance to learn and be a classmate of so many people in Ph.D. study, more than 5 of them are computer professors right now in United States (Bing Wu, Feng Li, Wei Lou, Quan Yuan, Shuhui Yang, Xiuqi Li).
Education leadership
Most of her classmates in her education leadership class were the teachers in elementary school or other similar institutions. She enjoyed the structure of class teaching, around 10 of us were sitting inside the classroom, study and communicate through the whiteboard. The course name is "education leadership". One of Julia's concerns is how she can relate education leadership to herself, help herself to locate her next move in her career, go back to China or stay in USA or immigrate to Canada.
Innovation is hard, Julia worked on her computer science Ph.D. program, and then she tried so many things but she had a lot of success and a lot of failures.
To be continued
Julia likes to set some goals to learn courses on pluralsight.com about C# programming courses.
