Further projects
Besides, I didn't waste any time in the summer and signed up for two more research projects. Don't worry, it's too early to bury me yet, I'm somehow coping with the workload at the moment. Considering what prospects their implementation will open up to me, I shouldn't complain.
The third project is about meteorology and cyclone detection using ML-technologies. The work is based on an article created by Chinese (I think so) scientists, and is an improvement on the machine learning models used in their research. In a nutshell, we are trying to implement another kinds of algorithms for a 2D map to search for cyclones and develop the programs for a 3D map (to detect and determine the volumetric shapes of cyclones). Maybe, we can even devise an algorithm to predict the movement and evolution of cyclones in the future. And once again, I say "we" for a reason. I do this job together with my partner. I also will introduce her if she doesn't mind.
P.S.: Here's a cool image of geopotentials below to illustrate the map we are working with. The blue spots on it stand for cyclones.
The fourth project is also about ML techniques, but now in the area of astronomy and astrophysics. I'm not sure how much can I say about the project itself now, but one thing I can say for sure. And this thing is really hard to believe in. I got the offer for this work from abroad, more precisely, from Taiwan.
To get this offer, I just threw my candidacy at almost all the available summer internship programs that I could find during my entire current year of study. Thus, it worked, and I was able to get the only offer from Taiwan, which I gladly agreed to. (I'm a lucky one, what can I say).
My summer internship lasts for two months: from the beginning of July to the end of August. At the moment, I have been working on the project for the fourth week and have already achieved significant results. I expect to achieve as much as possible in the allotted time. And today I plan to finally ask my supervisor about the confidentiality (what can I publish here) of the project.
However, my trip to another country will not only be about work. And also about life here. More content from my travel blog (it turns out now) can be found on my Instagram and X/Twitter (I guess, I'm not sure... go check it out or something).
