Just in case you have been wondering why there hasn’t been much activity recently, I have been focusing a lot of my energy on getting work done on the research side of things. My PhD research is currently in a busy period. I have been at the University office everyday for longer periods than usual working on several things that need to be done. By the time I get back at night I feel like all the energy has been drained from me and the efficiency that I normally work at will have disappeared by 8pm (after I cook dinner, eat up and wash up). I’ve been averaging 7-hours of sleep every night (I make it a point to get sleep), hence why I wouldn’t want to stay up later than necessary trying to work on stuff.

I just thought I’d post this up while it’s still freshly publicized. While I was in Innsbruck, I found out that I was offered a scholarship for my research work by the Victorian government (Victoria as in the state that Melbourne is in for those who do not know Australia that well). Upon my arrival back in Melbourne, I was asked to do an interview for the University about my research and the scholarship. If you’d like to get an idea of who I am ahead of time (while I deal with the backlog and delay in getting an About Me page out on the blog), you can read about it here. If you’d like to see a profile of me and my research, you can also click this link.
