Abstract:my current supervisor, who continuously provides me valuable suggestions and discussions during these years in many ways. I am also grateful to Dr. Simon Ching-Man Yu of Singapore Institute of Technology, my co-supervisor, for continuously providing me encouragement, guidance, discussions and caring in both research and personal life. Without their guidance, the research would not have been so enriching and fulfilling.
