Sharing Session With Dr. Neill #6 : Problem Solving Final Research

Hi Everyone!

This will be a mentoring session in the final semester. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In my opinion, the mentoring session is the most enjoyable and adds a lot of insight. Dr. Neill is still patient and kind enough to be my mentor. I really want to thank Dr. Neill. Oh yeah, just for Dr. Neill has come home from his research trip. It's great to take some selfies and landscapes in Antarctica just for me. Here are the photos:

 



How beautiful the scenery, my friends. Hopefully, later we can get the opportunity to visit the continent of Antarctica someday (It looks like it will be very exciting and provide an unforgettable experience). 

Well, since my final project is still not finished (but still in good progress). Hopefully, I can graduate shortly, friends. Anyway, the post-campus world is what I'm really looking forward to. So let's put more effort into that.

Let us discuss the progress of my final project to what extent. First of all, I first explain the things that make me confused about my research:

  • The rotameter water that I have cannot measure and regulate the number of bubbles produced. This is because the rotameter water I use is too big to measure and control the bubbles produced.
  • I am still confused to place what parameter of comparison I will write in my final project. Finally, my supervisor suggested that I just enter the voltage value as a parameter for comparison. Dr. Neill will also ask his colleagues about this to be clear from all points of view (thanks Dr. Neill).
  • The research I have done has never actually been done. So it might be a little difficult to find literature. According to my supervisor, it is better to read literature again in an outside journal to gain more insight.

Besides, me and Dr. Neill discussed the problems and the sustainability of my final project. Here's a summary of the conclusions and questions we talked about:

  • The acoustic information can be used as a management tool to estimate the stocking density (or health) of the fish in the tank. If you know the error of the return signal
  • Does this make sense to you? so if the bubbles from aeration cause a problem so you can't see the fish 

  • So a good test of the application would be to use this in a real fish farm tank. Then on and off the aeration 
  • So the problem is with only the voltage value from the return signal you don't know how much air (aeration) is going into the water. The flow rate (because of the depth, because of the air pressure) will change so you know the number of bubbles. But maybe this is not a problem?
Also, Dr. Neill said : 

"Now I understand more I will talk again to my colleague at work but regardless of this, from what I have seen I think you have done a good job👍"

Okay, friends maybe that's what I will work on for the next month. I have to keep up the spirit because this is the last period in the world of college. See you later!
