Research Archive
The working archive for a doctorate in space technology. Every research question, hypothesis, project, experiment, dataset, artifact and publication is recorded once, given a permanent identifier, and linked so that any claim in the thesis can be followed back to the evidence that supports it.
This site is currently a skeleton. Structure, conventions and templates are in place; the research content is not. Every page carries a status marker, so you always know whether you are reading a placeholder or finished work.
The document itself: research question, contributions, methodology, nine chapters, the bibliography and the defense material.
02Research ProgrammeThe agenda above any single chapter: the conceptual framework, the numbered research questions and hypotheses, and the map that relates them.
03ProjectsUnits of work. A project owns a question, a method, an architecture and the experiments that test it.
04PublicationsPapers from outline to camera-ready, with review history, responses to reviewers and every submitted version kept.
05ExperimentsRuns with a hypothesis, a configuration, an environment, results and enough detail to reproduce them.
06DatasetsProvenance, schema, collection method, preprocessing, quality and licensing for every dataset the work depends on.
07ArtifactsThe canonical registry: algorithms, software, models, figures, tables, diagrams, benchmarks and configurations.
08LiteratureRead papers, by author and topic, with the synthesis that turns them into themes and identified gaps.
09NotesIdeas, advisor meetings, observations, open questions and the dated research journal.
10PresentationsConference talks, seminars, advisor updates, the proposal and the defense.
11ReferencesThe shared bibliography, citation style, standards, books and external resources.
12ConventionsIdentifiers, metadata, status vocabularies, visibility levels and the repository layout.
Thesis progress
Chapter status is recorded on each chapter page and summarised here. The percentages are author estimates of drafted content, not word counts.
The full view, with per-chapter status and dependencies, is at Thesis progress.

How the archive is wired
Nothing in this repository is a loose file. Every entity has an identifier, a canonical home and explicit links to what it depends on, so a claim can be audited end to end.
The three rules the archive is held to are on the conventions page. The short form: every entity gets a permanent ID, every artifact has exactly one canonical location, and every thesis claim is traceable to the evidence beneath it.
Where to start
If you want the argument, read the thesis overview and then the research question. If you want to see what is being worked on right now rather than what is finished, go to open questions and the research journal. If you are looking for something specific, search.
