Abstract
This seminar is about how to perform doctoral dissertation research and write high-quality technical papers in English. Many students are sometimes wondering how to conduct their doctoral dissertation research and write quality technical papers; while faculty members may have questions about how to supervise their students. By learning from many other professionals including students, professors, engineers, managers and business leaders, I will summarize and tell some important lessons and useful experience. Most of them are based on what I have gained as a doctoral student, faculty member, listener of many talks, and reader/reviewer/editor of numerous papers, theses, books and proposals. This presentation will also summarize many common English errors and presentation problems we faculty and students tend to make. It will indicate some critical points regarding how to become a responsible and contributing student, faculty member, professional, and citizen and how to make the scientific and technological contributions to benefit human beings.
