% About thesis
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
Using higher-dimensional topological data structures, many difficult problems can be flattened to equivalent---but conceptually simpler---problems on graphs. [\emph{This thesis}]
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
Two representations will come to dominate geographic information of any dimension: point clouds and space subdivisions. [\emph{This thesis}]
|
|
% Representing roads as lines and buildings as unconstrained soups of faces will soon seem as anachronistic as wireframe models.
|
|
|
|
% Side topics / GIS in general
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
Computational methods will replace geoscientific methods in almost every GIS application:
|
|
\emph{fast reasonable approximations} on large noisy datasets will increasingly trump \emph{slow optimal solutions} on a few carefully acquired data points.
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
A lack of concern for geometric and topological correctness is the main reason behind the lack of successful applications for general-purpose 3D models.
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
In computer science, it is almost always better to speak of research objectives than research questions.

% Science & thesis
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
There is no such thing as a predatory publisher, only predatory metrics used to gauge the value of a scientist.
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
In the future, peer review will be conducted post publication.
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
Good academic writing advice encourages clarity and expressiveness as much as it discourages formulaic constructions.
|
|
|
|
% Politics
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
Innovation in internet services will occur in countries that enshrine net neutrality in law.
|
|
|
|
\item
|
|
The results of research performed at public universities or using public funds ought to be released into the public domain.
|
|

These propositions are regarded as opposable and defendable, and have been approved as such by the promotor Prof.\ dr.\ J.\ Stoter and the copromotor Dr.\ H.\ Ledoux.
