How to develop a good research work?
Four important question to ask:
1. What is the important problem in this field? Why important? (cost, time…)
2. What is the current standard techniques to solve problems? (limitations)
3. What are the tasks that you currently work on? (your methods to address above limitation)
4. What are impacts of your research?
