I’m a doctor!?

My defence was today… at last! I got very good feedback about my researches work for the last three years. That’s why I now have a Ph.D. in Computer Science with honors.

I guess my official title now would be “Doctor” in some countries, but it’s definitely unused in France. In any case it’s just nice to see this “complete”. I undertook to work on my research topic for three whole years, hoping to add a small piece to the human knowledge, and I apparently succeeded. It’s a very nice feeling despite all the difficulties along the path. It was definitely worth it.

On another note, that means that I’m now officially unemployed… Well, at least it gives me time to do the stupid amount of paperwork generated by my change of status. We all love bureaucracy, don’t we?

    à propos de “it’s definitely unused in France”, je connais des gens qui signe leur mail avec “Dr Name” et qui ont ça sur leur carte de visite.

    @All
    Thanks a lot!

    @Cornelius
    It’s now online on the “Thèse En Ligne” website. The only problem is that it’s written in french only. Until recently the thesis had to be written in french, and they made it non-mandatory when I had at least half of it written. I didn’t feel like translating it… so it’s in french.

  12. Félicitations Kevin. En souvenir d’un cours de présentation de la méthode XP en M2 GLR à Toulouse. ” C’est vous le doc, Doc’ “. :°)
