I defended my bachelor thesis on Wednesday, 21 June 2016 and after some revisions, submitted my final thesis the day after. It is safe to assume that I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree now (I am an engineer!).

Most thanks are given to my mom who always understands my nerdy need and was willing to give me some rather high-end computer.

Many thanks to:

  • my thesis advisor, Mas Zuher Syihab,
  • my thesis examiner, Mas Amega Yasutra,
  • and Mas Sutopo who was also present and gave plenty of inputs into my thesis discussion.

I may have taken five years to graduate, but I must say I barely regret it. Due to my having to take (and retake) some credits, I used the chance to hone my skills and revisit some fundamental concepts, which I almost took for granted.

A few key points I need to research further as pointed out by the three professors:

  • what is the underlying numerical method behind scipy.linalg.solve? Since I’ve been treating it as a blackbox the whole time
  • how to perform material balance check at each time level? Note: I’d rather use the term conservation of mass because it sounds cooler.
