See past projects<\/a> for examples of scope and outcome. To propose a project, e-mail me with the topic area, a few sentences on what interests you, and your programming background.<\/p>\n\n

Postgraduate Study<\/h2>\n

If you are considering a Master’s or PhD, read the Student Supervision<\/a> page for current projects and the section for prospective students, then e-mail me a short CV and a one-page statement of your proposed research area.<\/p>\n\n

Nota Tentang Alatan AI<\/h2>\n

Anda dialu-alukan menggunakan pembantu AI untuk belajar — menerangkan terbitan, debug kod, atau menyemak kefahaman. Anda tidak dibenarkan menghantar output AI sebagai kerja sendiri. Dalam kursus saya, anda mesti boleh menerangkan dan mempertahankan setiap baris yang dihantar. Jika ragu, tanya saya sebelum tarikh akhir, bukan selepasnya.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
