Finally... it's over!

Abdulbaki with his Master thesisThe 16th of March, 2010 was a very important day for me. On that day, I have finished my Master thesis and with it my academic studies!
Today, on the 22nd of March, I got my written confirmation that I successfully graduated from college! It will take a certain time for my supervisor to read my thesis and evaluate it. Till then, I won't know my grade, but that's ok.

However, I have to admit that I still don't realize that my life will change from now on. Because, the most anticipated day for years turned out to be just a visit to the examination office as always... very strange.
Nevertheless, I am verry happy and excited about my future. In April, I will start my new job and hopefully with it a new part of my life.

First of all, I want to thank God, the Most Beneficent, and the Most Merciful. Without Him I could not achieve anything. He helped me going through hard days as well as soft days. In times of desperation, I knew that there was a door to knock on.

Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Radu Popescu-Zeletin and Dr.-Ing. Stephan Steglich for giving me the chance to work at Franhaufer FOKUS, where I have learned so much and for handing over this Master thesis topic, which was very interesting to work on.
My special appreciation goes to my supervisor Dipl.-Inf. Christian Räck, who has supported and encouraged me throughout the whole Master thesis phase. I managed to write this thesis due to his good guidance.

Furthermore, I want to say “thank you” to my parents. They always supported and helped me during my entire academic career and they were always there for my little family and me. I hope I could honor them by graduating from college and making their prayers of me becoming an engineer come true.

The persons, who I owe the most debt of gratitude, are my wife and my little son. My wife never left me alone; she always believed in me and supported me since day one of our marriage. With the birth of my kid, my sense of responsibility changed drastically and establishing a good future for my kid motivated me to become a good engineer. I love you both so much; all my efforts are just for you two!

Last, but not least, I want to thank my other family members and my friends. Thank you!

Technology meets Talent

Technology meets TalentOn Thursday, 25th of February, I was invited to the "Technology meets Talent" event of the Deutsche Telekom. Top managers from Telekom as well as from other companies talked about Open Innovation and Open Source. Later on, students were invited to exchange innovative ideas with these managers in BarCamps.
All in all, a very interesting event, where I have learned a lot about how companies have to change to meet the demands of today/tomorrow.
You can learn more about this event at: "Technology meets Talent" in Berlin.

Back at T-Labs, this time as a research scientist!

I am very happy. Last Tuesday, the 23rd of February, I had an interview at Deutsche Telekom Laboratories for a job as a research scientist in the "Strategic Research" area "Service-centric Networking" led by Prof. Dr. Axel Küpper.
After successfully presenting my Master thesis, I got a call on Wednesday with a confirmation that I got the job! I'm very happy that the chapter "job search" is over. Now, I can fully concentrate on finishing my Master thesis.
As a graduate, I told myself to either follow an academic career by doing a PhD or going for a management career. I think, this question got an answer: Research!

Master thesis - Status

Five chapters are done, one big chapter is still open plus Introduction and Conclusion. If my supervisor does not has too much to complain about, I will hopefully finish the thesis soon!

Wish me success!

Master thesis

Friday, 02/19/2010, 10:14:30

For a few months, I have been intensively working on my Master thesis. The clock started ticking on September 24th, 2009 and the deadline is on March 24th, 2010.
I finished the practical part of my thesis on January 12th and since then, I am working on the theoretical part of it. By now, I have written four chapters with 65 pages of content and I hope to finish the rest in the upcoming month.

Besides all of that, questions about my future are concerning me. Will I find a good job and where? I hope to get answers to these questions in one or two months.

All in all, I think that 2010 will be an important year for my little family and me since big chances are awaiting us and we are going to start a new life without being students anymore!

Wish me success!
