During the project

This is your project! You run the show and I support you. I won’t micromanage you, in return you need to be self-driven and self-organized. The aim is that every project can be published or presented at a conference. That means that every project should be novel and properly conducted. I am aware that this is a high expectation and not all projects will need to reach is goal.

In the first month of the project

Please read the rulesregarding theses at DTU on DTU Inside (https://www.inside.dtu.dk/en/undervisning/regler/afsluttende-projekter).

You have to submit a project plan at the end of the first month (see assignment on DTU Inside). The project plan should include at least the following:

-Project description including literature (this could become your thesis introduction)

-Research question(s)

-Timeline, e.g., Gantt chart (include milestones)

The timeline does not need to be extremely accurate, in fact there is a high propability that you won't follow the timeline. That is normal in most research projects. If you worry that you diverge too much, talk to me during our regular meetings.

Meetings

We will schedule a kick-off meeting in the first week. During that meeting we will schedule a weekly recurring meeting. This meeting will be 30 minutes long. You decide what we do during that meeting, i.e., you make the agenda and lead the meeting. We can schedule additional/longer meetings whenever needed. For example for a lab introduction, to discuss methods, or to look more closely at the data.

Availability & Working hours

I don’t expect you to be available or work at certain hours or at certain locations. You don’t need to respond to messages/emails immediately, but please do so timely. I might send you messages/emails at unconventional work hours. I do not expect that you will have the same work hours as I do. If I miss responding to one of your messages, please just remind me after a couple of days.

Tools and AI

It is allowed to use tools and AI in your project as long as you state and/or discuss with me which tools you use. If you need access or assistance to a tool, please get in touch.
