Acknowledgements
First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of my Ph.D. supervisors Professor Michael Roe, Professor Jingjing Xu and Dr. Tuck, and my second supervisors Captain Syamantak Bhattacharya and Dr. Young Joon Seo, for their patience, encouragement, valuable advice and strict requirement regarding academic research. Professor Roe, who was my first director of supervision and supervised me for three years, has supported me with his warm heart throughout my entire Ph.D. process. He is more than an academic supervisor to me. He inspired me with his passion in life and coloured my dull Ph.D. journey. I also would like to give my special thanks to Dr. Tuck who took me in when I felt confused and helpless, and guided me through the very end of my Ph.D. with her sound academic ability. Secondly, I would give my appreciation
