I think there should be an "academic diary" here

海上王权的航海日志

2022.11.08 I will post some research progress and exciting news here.

2022.12.28 I modified my method for reconstruction and did some derivation for EFT

2022.12.29 I have some technical questions about EFT and do worrry about how much time it would cost to generate field and compute gradients.

2022.12.30 I fix a bug for lineminimization part.

2023.1.1 I want to try a new bracket method. But before that, I have to finish my strategy test.

2023.1.2 Start to test my new bracket method. I've got some good results.

2023.1.3 More test to be done. Confirm that only one step of chain rule can be applied to evaluate gradient for EFT model.

2023.1.6 Try std and a much flatter initial guess.

2023.1.29 Try different weight and pure case.

2023.1.30 Different weights do help. Thus I need to redo 2Fieldafter21 case with different weight.

2023.2.7 More cases to be run.

2023.2.8 Fix a bug and redo previous cases. More cases to be run.

2023.2.10 Cases running.

2023.2.23 Do reading about instruments and foregrounds. How to simulate uv data?

2023.3.5 Redo smoothing before using data from tools21cm.

2023.3.15 Wedge result seems good. The work of Paper I is almost finished. I am working on the writing part. I am also thinking about RSD and lightcones.

2023.3.16 I find a way to add RSD and lightcone.

2023.3.24 Fix a bug for the noise case. Finish derivative of RSD and Lightcone. The coding seems difficult but the computation seems cheap. Just limited times of FFT and iFFT.

2023.4.29 It almost took me one month to code for RSD and lightcone with nested omp.

2023.5.27 A lot of dirty work.

2023.6.22 A lot of ideas to do. I feel excited but also frustrated.

2023.7.20 Back

2023.8.28 Coding: add foreground in lightcone and rsd

2023.8.28 I have some crazy ideas.

2023.11.7 Found some bug on my foreground input, Have to retune the technical parameters.

2023.12.20 Did a numerical test on Gaussian approximation and Limber approximation

2024.4.16 Done SNR estimation for SKA and HERA

2024.5.29 Survived thesis defense

2024.6.6 Ready to join NAOC

2024.6.17 准备开新坑了

2024.7.29 New MBP

Just wanna post something to maintain my dignity
