Doctorate Degree and Workshop at MIMOS

One of the beautiful moment of my life to get my PhD degree on 12th of April 2010 . I was so much tense about my presentation and my degree. I would like to thanks to Mukta and Ashiq for their help and passing time with me during my visit in Trento, Italy. On the 12th april 2010, I went to meet Prof.Fausto Giunchiglia who is my supervisor and guide of my PhD degree. After the meeting, I got confidence about my presentation . I always follow his foot steps in my life. One of the person whom I admire most after my parents. During my Presentation, Pavel , Armando, and Junaid asked me several questions on my thesis. I was a little bit nervous to answer those question but I managed to get out of those questions. Then Prof.Fausto told me and others (who were listening my talk) to leave the room, and he took the decision with reviewers for my degree. After 10 min , Prof. Fausto called me to the room and announce me as Doctorate.

On that moment, I close my eyes and trying to look at my parents face. Also my wife who passed her all boring nights beside with me during my final days of thesis writing.

I did a small party with Bengali students from University of Trento, Trento, Italy and my reviewers (Pavel and Armando).

I got to run to catch the train for Rome. I arrived at Rome at 10 pm.

I went to home at 11 pm from the train statation and my wife was waiting for me at the door. she gave me a big hug and crying for her joy. We talked couple of hours and got at 7 am. I had to go Malaysia for a Project meeting .

I left my wife at home and went to airport with my crying face. It was 11 hours journey to go Malaysia. I took taxi to go the place of golden horse (hotel ). It looked like a place. I saw Johannes and Armando in the lobby. They congratualated me about my degree. Others, also congratualated me. I met couple of new people.

We went to MIMOS toghether (at last I managed to go :)) . I felt so sleepy and drinking several cups of coffee. First day was fantastic with MIMOS people. We back to hotel. I went to bed as soon as possible. . .
