The Art of Doing a PhD
This stack of slides describes my view on how to work as a PhD student. The presentation was targeted a Ubiquitous Computing audience, but is fairly generic in nature.
Research skills presentation
Research involves investigating topics by collecting information from multiple sources and organizing it meaningfully. People conduct research to learn, for fun, to share information, or to become experts in certain areas. Researchers include scientists, lawyers, doctors, teachers, actors, and students. When choosing a research topic, one should pick a subject they find interesting and can find adequate information on to learn something new without it being too difficult. Information can be found through books, interviews, videos, magazines, newspapers, and credible websites like Kids.nationalgeographic.com and Kidsclick.org. Taking notes requires focusing on what is important and relevant to the topic while paraphrasing and summarizing to avoid plagiarism.

Work life balance
This document discusses achieving work-life balance in academia. It makes several key points:
1) There is no single definition of "balance" and what constitutes balance will vary between individuals and change over time based on life circumstances. People should define balance based on their own goals and priorities.
2) Individuals should carefully consider their career goals and align their efforts, like focusing on publications vs. teaching, to make progress toward those goals.
3) Working smarter, not just harder, is important to balance. Actual accomplishments matter more than hours worked since academics do not have set work schedules. Efficiency skills like coding can help maximize productivity.
4) Structural changes like implementing work-life

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

How to be a maverick?
- 1. How to be a maverick? Unconventional career ideas for graduate students Jake Y. Chen, PhD, FACMI Professor & Chief Bioinformatics Officer, Informatics Institute The University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA jakechen@uab.edu | bio.informatics.uab.edu March 10th 2020
- 2. What is your reaction? 2
- 3. 3 People who excel in reverse thinking (“contrarians”) and succeed in achieving their goals are mavericks.
- 4. What is in a Maverick? "be polite, be courteous, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet." Mavericks are essentially top-performing individuals. They think differently, act differently, and often times piss people off. These people completely buck the status quo and disregard traditional ways of thinking. 4 James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis
- 5. Why should we care about being Mavericks in the graduate school? • Graduate school is no longer about taking courses and getting an A for every course • Research projects! Innovation and intellectual merits! • Graduate school is populated with “rude” professors • They don’t seem to care about you • They talk about grants and papers • They will ask you to work at 6pm Friday and weekends. • Graduate school is long and lonely • 2yrs (MS), 5-7yrs (PhD). No parties. Just seminars • Graduate school doesn’t guarantee jobs • Stressful. Especially for those in biomedical research, social sciences. 5

- 14. How to be a maverick graduate student • Work hard but work smart • Do work beyond your standard curriculum • Be tougher dealing with criticisms and setbacks in your PhD process • Become a hunter instead of a collector • Learn how to communicate nicely but firmly • Go after “grand challenge topics” for work projects or learning. That’s what you’re most passionate about! 14
