My master thesis has been finally published online. It is called Impact Analysis of Different Consensus, Participant Selection and Scoring Algorithms in Blockchain-based Federated Learning Systems Using a Modular Framework, and it was supervised by Nirvana Meratnia.
I have finally successfully defended my master thesis! Yeeey. And it was on campus 😄🎓
Today I’ve made a lot of progress on my thesis defense slides. It’s probably getting too big, but my strategy is to finish the slides, and then present it to myself to see how long it takes. Based on that I can cut or change some parts.
Additionally, I’ve worked a bit on this website. The search can now be filtered per section and tag. I added a search bar to the bookmarks page, which is probably where this feature is the most useful. Next step is to implement fuzzy search. In addition, I grouped the tags by the first character, and started normalizing the tags in case I don’t always type the same exact thing.
In other news, I’ve been making an active effort to unsubscribe from as most mailing lists and I can. It’s paying off: I’ve been receiving much less e-mails and, when I do, they actually matter. 5/5 would recommend.
I’m glad to say I just submitted my thesis document. Now, I just need to prepare for the defense in a few weeks!
Today it marks the first month since I officially started my Masters project. I don’t know how I feel about it. I expected to have done more progress, which scares me a bit. But I’m positive it’ll turn out well.

I’m now in my first year of my Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering which means that next year I am supposed to start (and hopefully finish) my Master’s project and thesis. As a consequence of that, I have been thinking a lot about it lately. I don’t want to make a rushed choice that will make me work on something I don’t enjoy for over half an year.
