PhD Dissertation LaTeX Template

Published:
less than 1 minute read

This is an unofficial LaTeX template for PhD Dissertation (Jan 2026) at Queen’s University, ECE department, PPRL group.

You can use this template as a starting point for your own dissertation. It includes the basic structure and formatting required by the university, as well as some additional features such as a glossary and macros for common terms.

View it on Github or Overleaf.

  • The glossary is created automatically. See the sample to understand how to define new terms and use them in the text.
  • Several macros have been defined in preamble.sty to make the text more readable. Use the same format to create your own macros.
  • To build locally, I suggest Linux or WSL, with latexmk and makeglossaries.

During the past years, I have been under heavy workload of studies and work, and I couldn’t really explore the new AI tools that are coming out these days. Today, I was searching for a pomodoro timer app to help me focus on my work, and I thought, why not building one myself?? I think it was Afshin that had an influence on me. Check out his game (brilliant idea and vibecoded!): Connect 3 Chess.

I have been using Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL for a while. Recently, I decided to upgrade it to the latest LTS version, which is 24.04 LTS. I have two options to do this: a fresh installation or an in-place upgrade using the do-release-upgrade command. ALthoguh I decided to go with the messy in-place upgrade first, I later changed my mind and went for a fresh installation, especially because I had to do two major version upgrades (20.04 -> 22.04 -> 24.04). So, anyways. Here are the steps I followed. I specifically put this post here for future reference in case I need to install all the various packages I need again.

Utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation in CUDA

In this post I’ve written about how to utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in CUDA. PTX is a low-level assembly-like language that is used to represent the GPU code. The PTX code is then compiled to the machine code by the NVIDIA driver at runtime. This process is called Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. But before I write about how to use PTX JIT compilation, I’ll provide some background on why you might want to use it.
