Finally, I received my PhD-degree in computer science ...
... last friday (in particular in "Information Security & Cryptography").
It was a lot of hard work over the last 3 years! My thesis' title is "Collision-Free Number Generation: Efficient Constructions, Privacy Issues, and Cryptographic Aspects", 226 pages, writting in English. In Austria the PhD-degree is called "Dr.techn." for those of you who wanna know that. You might ask why I'm writing this here on the msgboard? There is a simple reason for that: after the academic ceremony my family gave me a nice present: the VIRGIL DONATI SIGNATURE SNARE DRUM. That was the best present they could have given to me!! I'm very happy now (about both the PhD-degree and the snare drum  ).Cheers, Martin |

Congratulations Martin!!!!!!
WOW, good job man! And good of your parents to give you that snare. It's a crackin' smackin' mean machine! It's such a great snare!! Seriously, good job finishing your PhD. I'm only on my way towards bachelor in Danish with digital communication and aestethics... Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your congrats!
The snare drum sounds excellent! Soon I hope to buy a new drum kit. I thought to buy the Pearl Reference kit, but I'm not sure yet since we have no serious drum store here where I can test it. Any other suggestions concerning a new drum kit? |

@Bryce.bc
Thanks for your interest. The last four years I mainly focused on fundamental research in IT-security and cryptography. Thereby, I spent most of the time on developping new techniques from theory point of view, i.e. I concentrated on algebra. My dream job would be to remain in the research area, but it is hard to get a job there (especially locally). Moreover, the money you earn is not as much as one might think. If you remain at the University you can (more or less) research whatever you want, but the money is not very much except if you are a full professor. For the latter I'm too unexperienced yet .My current main problem is that I want to return to my home city, where my wife lives in our flat. But the job situation (for research) there is questionable. I'm currently working in a town which is 150km away from my wife. So I meet here only on weekends  . So it's time to go back.If I get no research job I'm forced to enter the industry as a security specialist. |
