Hello, Michele. I still want to get PhD position and I'm working on the idea you suggested me. Also I'm not sure if you know, but Voronyj diagram project won at Roassal Contest and I made the presentation about it on ESUG. In Cambridge I spoke with some people and got a few ideas, what to do next. You can look at the site: http://natalia.tymchuk.me/RTVoronyjDiagram/ the video for Contest: http://youtu.be/SlJptrlBbho the videos from presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUpndOXOsnY&list=UUO-vBhaKVZf0al-ISMMPvRw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsF3YaC1m_w&list=UUO-vBhaKVZf0al-ISMMPvRw (I just realised, that I didn't mention you during the presentation. I'm really sorry about it, I was very nervous and didn't say the half from what I planed. But when I was speaking with people personaly I always said that it was your idea.) So, please let me know what do you think about me and my chances. Best regards, Natalia On Aug 27, 2014, at 10:40 AM, Michele Lanza <michele.lanza@usi.ch> wrote:
Dear all, this is an informal call for PhD students. Iâm Michele Lanza, head of the REVEAL research group from the University of Lugano in Switzerland, active in Smalltalk since many years (16 to be precise). The group, which you might know from tools like CodeCity, SpyWare, Softwarenaut, SPO, etc. and its involvement in Moose and Pharo in general, currently features 4 PhD students and 1 postdoc. 3 PhD students program with and in Pharo, namely Yuriy Tymchuk, Roberto Minelli, and Tommaso dal Sasso, who recently attended ESUG. Iâm looking for one or maybe even two PhD students. Topics with me are normally open and agreed upon by both sides, as long as itâs fun and relevant. I have some funky open topics. The only requirements are an open mind, good OO skills, the willingness to learn and to work hard.
Drop me a line if youâre interested or know anyone whoâs interested.
Thanks
Michele
BTW, I could say things about the nice climate in Lugano, the relatively good salary conditions, the generous available funding for traveling and hardware, etc. but if you come only for that you better stay away from me :-)
