- Well I just started my PhD and then we had a global pandemic. I've been quarantining in my room and have somehow managed to make progress on my PhD. In this PhD vlog I share my at-home office setup, what I've done so far to build a turbidity sensor, the experiments I have in mind, and work I have planned for the next month.
Some open-access papers that might be interesting for all you nerds:

Dude I'm so happy there's a vlog so normal and natural like this for science and technology,,, I thought the art students took all the vlogging glory but I was wrong! :D stem represent
Jessie, you're such an inspiration for me ❤. I'm studying mechatronic engineering and you always motivate me to continue studying and being part of a project that I really enjoyed to do someday.
From Peru 💓
Hey Carmen! You're too kind
Woooow!!! I haven’t found someone like me! I have just started my PhD this semester and now it’s online! Good luck!
To be honest you have been an inspiration to me .I am quite a bright student and i love physics but I had lost my self into bad habits and had gone completely of track,then I saw your video yesterday and it reminded me what my true goal was and from the next day started on my journey to achieve my goal.I as well have started a youtube channel and would start a journey .Thanks a lot dude ur an inspiration.
Same, I fall off track after high school, and never quite became the person I wished to be, but it is not too late yet, I hope to do good from now on
@@theawantikamishra a mature guidance is very necessary at this stage.

Hey RiverTechJess i am also a graduated mechanical engineer😉 and it's good to hear some informative content from you. You are doing well keep going, best of luck and stay safe☺️
Thanks so much Sushant! Best of luck to you too!
0:27 || is that COVID-19 ??
- Welcome back. Hope your safe out there, and looking forward seeing ur journey.
I am a computer science graduate, and I loved watching this entire video. It takes a good engineer to get interested in their subject, kudos to you. Would love to read and view more on your work.
Thanks so much Ashwani:) Yes, I'll be figuring out how to publish everything soon. Maybe github
i Love you jess
I never comment, but I have to show some support :) so nice to hear from you, your project and the passion that comes through. Really inspiring! Thank you!
Aww thanks Laura! That's so nice to hear because I thought I would sound exhausted:) haha thanks for watching!
its great that everyone is showing up to cool videos like this. emailing you right now Jess, i'm back!
Man, seeing the designs is so fascinating, love it!
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching:)
May I suggest you use a variation on a smoke alarm which would work on the same principle and not be affected by light strength but by partial density
Your video about joining ETH Zürich was really inspiring and insightful,and I really appreciated it,I wish you the best in your PhD!
Thank you very much! and thanks so much for watching:)
Very good💖💖💖
May you please give us online courses about civil engineering and architect ?
Thanks in advance 💖
Hi Jessie, just passing by to tell you that I love your videos and they're inspiring me to make an engineering youtube channel in portuguese (I'm brazilian) because science needs to be better spread on the internet. I just wish you could give me some tips throgh instagram since I'm now following you there as well
Hey a swiss plant scientist right here ! Just an idea... you said that the ambient light would be a problem to do your prototype in « natural environnement » so why don’t you do it during the night ? You wiuld have less natural light at least !
Is it possible to have a separate sensor in standard solution right above the river to measure the IR from the sun and use that to correct the readings from the sensor submerged in the water?
@@SakibAhmed-hr7bd Don't even need a separate sensor - just pulse the light source and detect the difference in the readings.
Hi all! Very nice suggestions and questions. Yes, as @NiHaoMike said, the plan is to do one detection without the LED (to make corrections), and then another detection with the LED on (for the actual sample).
Congrats on PhD and thanks for sharing your science. I am currently in my last year of environmental engineering PhD. Keep pushing, it’s all gonna be worth it.
OMG your project sounds amazing 🤩 Anything will be better than the “dot-in-the-cup” turbidity method citizen science groups/environmental groups currently use. I can’t wait to see how your project develops 😁👍
So I’ve just done a levels in chemistry maths and English and recently I’ve been thinking I might want to do a career in environmental engineering however I’m probably only getting abb (a in maths) and I’m not sure if I’m intelligent enough or even have the right subjects to be able to study it and get a degree. Anyone have any advice ? :)
Hi there...a new subscriber from South Africa. Loving your videos. I am also planning to begin my PhD journey in Electrical Engineering in July 2020.
You grandma gave you the recipe of Голубцы?) Were is she from? somewhere from Soviet Union? Russia, Ukraine?

I got phd offer in uni of cambridge UK and soon I will start too :)
You are going great 🙌
From Pakistan.
Thanks Muhammad! I appreciate it so much:)
Just subscribed, best of luck with your PhD and turbidity sensor, was also thinking the same thing with photodiodes, have a look at Fluorimeters if you haven’t already . Looking forward to you next videos :-)
I just came across your channel from Tibees channel and just wanted to say hi! Fellow Canadian doing a PhD at D-MAVT at ETH! I haven’t met any Canadians here so far! And sometimes I whitewater kayak so what are the odds??
This is so educational and inspiring. Your passion & energy is infectious!
Hi Jess, this is the first video I watched from your channel. Random youtube recommendation feed. Question. Are you sure about blogging technical details of your research especially in the development phase?
1. other people might copy your project and publish earlier than you.
2. that plus you might have novelty and inventive step claim issues when you want to file a intellectual property protection on your invention.
.
let me know your thoughts on this. curious if these lines of thinking is valid in other cultures/countries
I'm sorry that you not only have a very busy schedule studying and working to be more and more successful but also need to constantly produce new material for UA-cam (because that's just how it works). Personally, I think that if UA-cam gets in the way of your success, overwhelms you, breaks need to be taken (like this period you spent out of UA-cam). But it would be really nice if you just took breaks, instead of permanently quit making videos. I'm from Brazil, you transcend borders. I'm currently on my first (and coronafrozen) period of Chemical Engineering and have been loving and knowing engineering more because of you. Whether I like it or not, it feels more comforting to see a female face talking about STEM, it makes me feel fitting or something. I watched a video you made with Tibees, that's how I found your channel and I've been watching ever since. Your channel is different, it is special. It is really not easy to find one like yours. Please, don't quit!
Hey Luiza! I actually took a screenshot of this comment on my phone because it was so lovely, kind, and encouraging
So nice to hear, I always feel like your channel is special - I also am a woman and engineer and following you along the journey is inspiring because of the passion you clearly have. By all means, find a manageable way of doing UA-cam :)
Hi there! I’m a competitive tennis player and I just started the recruiting process for college. I am definitely planning to play D1 on a scholarship and I’m also interested in mechanical engineering. From your experience is it possible to balance this major along with 3-4 hours of athletic activity every day? Or would it be more reasonable to select a major with less workload?
Could you do a video on why you chose to do a PHD? The pros and cons of doing one in your opinion. I am starting my Masters degree in Data Science next year and was thinking of doing a minor thesis pathway into a PHD. Would like to know your opinion. Cheers from Australia :)!
Omg 😍 I'm new in ur channel😍 and I love it 🤗 im a mechanical engineering student 🤗 I will be around here from now
Interesting. No idea why UA-cam recommend this to me, and how they knew I was interested in turbidity. Like I only watched music and UA-cam nonsense on this account. Any way. You should read also parents. They have more information for this kind of thing
Thank you for ur documenting vedios for the sake of making this world a better place to live on through science and inspiration.
Respect and admiration from sudan, Africa
Huge respect from Pakistan, I have done MS in Mechanical... Currently, a a high school science teacher..I wonder if you could kindly let us know about the cost of online PhD as an international student and whether it is worth to do an online PhD?
I often mistaken you to Abir Aichi, another nerd youtuber girl. You both kinda look alike. Nice vlog btw.
I don't know if this was brought up or not. I haven't had a chance to look over everything on your channel.
I've seen where companies/individuals are using artificial intelligence to design all sorts of things. Make things work faster, stronger, more efficient. Basically redesigning but on a scale that a human more than likely wouldn't even consider, and in many cases it's hard to simply understand. I saw where you made a video a few years ago about a project you had working with a turbine engine. I believe it was 2 years ago, i think it was part of your masters in school. But anyway. Could you potentially use AI on stuff like that? Maybe a better way to super cool the air before combustion so you get more thrust. Or even a complete redesign, i don't know that's why I'm asking. Maybe redesign the fuselage to save weight, while maintaining strength and aerodynamics. I'm not an engineer, really just a curious question more than anything. It just seems like it could have the potential to not only really help change not only our computers and programs but also the mechanical side of industry, even civil engineering could potentially benefit. I hope this isn't a weird question. I just wonder if the future of engineering innovation could head in that direction.
Omg phd vlog..? You are so amazing 👍 thanks for sharing this video. 😄
we just found your channel and love it ! come visit ours?
Hai dude I think it is a very informative channel . I got you from tibees channel
I love seeing all your work both at home and at the office, not only is it super motivating but it helps me realize that I like it, what I want to do, how, and many more ideas to help take care of the environment
wow it's sooo nice to see you 😍😍
You're such an inspiration. After watching your videos I study more and better bc I wanna become an engineer like you one day.💁
Haha I'm so glad I can help but I hope you don't hate me one day for making you study so much;)
why not use the light from the sun ? it already has all the wavelengths built in lol your system will be environmentally friendly : )
never mind you clarify this in 14:00 : /
It was very helpful to understand what is the turbidity and how a turbidity sensor works. Thank you for this nice content :)
I'm glad you were able to understand what I was saying because I was worries that I didn't explain it properly:D
😁Hello Jess, I am a student of mechanics from Vietnam
Greetings froom colombia south america. Crear channel
Welcome!!
I am here Long time ......colega amiga
wow, I'm a mechanical engineering student from Egypt and this's like my second video for me to watch in your channel and it seems like I have to look up for the whole story from the beginning in your vlogs :)
it's so much fun, isn't it ;)
In which university your are doing Phd and in which country ?
Can you make a video how Indians can study in your country?
You are creative mechanical engineer Jess
All viewer are mechanical engineer around the world?
❤❤❤
Guess she is having a hard time since there is no update video
Why did you dropped aerospace engineering???
Please what is the name of software you are using in 21:09
What is your final year project of btech
Can you build the iron man suit? I am 10 year old
This is excellent, I am considering doing PhD in Chemical Engineering after completing my MEng so this is going to very helpful/motivational. Thanks, Jess
I'm glad I could help, Jay! Thanks for watching:)
do not leave, you help me a lot
Oh thank you Naza for the support
Hope you finish your phd soon😍
Hi Jess! I’ll be joining college after the coronavirus ends and I’m planning on doing chemical engineering. You are such an inspiration❤️
Hi praveena
Are you from India?
where you are doing your PhD
Wooooooww you are doing PhD in mechanical engineering wooooooww that's really great
I'm 2 years yd in engineering 😂😂still i have 5 backlogs and I really wish corona should not go so that exams will get canceled and I will get promoted 😂😂
Good luck for your PhD work.
Despite the fact I don't understand anything, the diagrams, CAD and tour was interesting. How do you know if your on the right track regarding components ??? Wouldn't it be easier to build a flux capacitor for your PhD ?
Tibees brought me here 😁👍
Honestly I’m not even interested in engineering but I just love watching your content because you have such a fun and great personality and MAKE me interested in engineering. It’s awesome. I just love your personality so much!!! Good luck with everything along your path :-)
Although I am not a mechanical engineer (I'm a civil engineer) ,and I have a master degree on water resource engineering. I'm looking forward to join Ph.D in Environmental and Water resource engineering. So your vlogs are really helpful for me .Its very informative and inspiring.
Thank you for your good work
I’m glad to see your okay with this pandemic. Are you going to use different types of photo-resistors? And are you going to implement your own circuit design from scratch? I always reference UA-camr “Ben Eater” for designs from scratch, check him out. He is very detailed and informative.. Looking forward to your next video/update. Take care! Later 😘
You are living a dream carrying out a PhD in ETHZ. I love your PhD project.
Hi Jess, new sub and also a mechanical engineer now in Industry. It's really interesting to catch up on your project, best of luck with it and thanks for the papers.
Hi, good luck with PHD; my heart went out to you when I saw your working environment -my wife said "you just have a plank for a desc"- I started out with my training with less another story...
All I can say is keep on with the good work (it looks great by the way) and in a few years time you will look back as the whole experience as an achievement.
and will have no doubt a better office and lab!
:)
Word of advice is to continue...it's good revenue and i regret not having a side job now. PhD stipend sucks and it's a long lonely road. Good luck.
I just came across your videos. I love them! Hope you continue to post videos. Bless you and keep up the good work. ❤️☕
Hi jess, really interesting work. Your selection of controller (STM32 )is good enough as compared to ATmega. Create a local network, LORA is the best Transceiver. these all components are low power or low cost. research on material that uses in structures cause behind is your all experiment depends on light scattering principle.
How to start working on a research paper to publish , any examples?? Or how to begin at the first place , which are actually called as a research papers? Types of research papers?
Why did you drop doing simulations after your masters !? I wanna pursue a career in cfd but i have my doubts because it is really math intensive and with the software you can feel lost at times. Can you please share your experience !? let me know if we can talk via email.
Hi there - I have a quick story. At some point you posted a video about how you were going to be using an arduino. I had no idea what that was and did nothing about it at the time. for some reason, I thought about that again in the last week or so and I have been amazed at how much Arduino stuff is out there. It's literally amazing. So if it wasn't for watching your video earlier I would have no idea what they even were....so thank you !
thinking way is inspiring
@RiverTechJess can you please suggest some skill enhancing course for a mechanical engineer
Hey Jess, I am mechanical engineering bachelors student much inspired by your work. Do you reply emails as I have some questions regarding graduate studies ?
I am doing a Phd program in Japan. Your videos are very motivational. Please keep us updated.
What if you include something kind of 'gate/valve' that closes when the measurement is taken. This way you'll avoid alot of ambient light. Ofcourse you'd need a bigger batery, thatd be the downside
Hello.. I'm from india and I've too started my PhD from home...
Looking forward a study vlog 🤗
Would able to help me to get a chance in Ph.D., please?
Could you guide me regarding selection topic for PhD synopsis ? Thank you
Didn't notice the thing in your teeth until you pointed it out tbh haha. Are you worried about talking about your research, since there's the possibility that someone might publish the same idea before you? Just asking because I've noticed my profs being vague about their research because of this.
There is always this fear in academia and honestly it's stupid. Science would be better off with more collaboration and less competition.
Wth is a Phd
Wow.. keep updating us with your PhD work.. Although I am life sciences student.. I like your PhD project aim.. thanks for the videos.. they inspires master students.. thank you..
Hi i hve master degree whit grade 3.20 merit its ok to start phd
Me too
I will be following your journey very closely as I myself am starting my Ph.D. in the fall. Good luck!
That's great 😊.. all the best for your research
What is scope of phd. In chemical engineering stream.
Hey! Your vlogs are amazing! The content is high quality. If you need help with hardware engineering, ping me.
I really love that you’re walking us through with your thought process and everything :)
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing your experiences. This means a lot to mechanical engineers beginners as me.
As someone starting my PhD soon I love that you’re sharing the real side of science :)
Is it graduation day yet? 2 more years!!!!!!
