This section provides a brief guide to the structure and guidelines for writing the thesis document. You can use Overleaf as collaborative LaTeX editor sharing the project with the institutional mail of your supervisor to ensure efficient collaboration, feedback, and supervision throughout the writing process. If you're new to Overleaf, you can create a new project from scratch or use an existing template like this as a starting point.
