Acknowledgements I was once told that PhD is a long journey of transformation from a ‘novice’ to ‘professional’ researcher. To succeed, an individual can never do it alone; there must be someone who is there for them, providing all the helping hands and supports. I can’t agree more and as for my case, I have a lot of people to thank. First thanks must go to my supervisor, Professor Phoebe Chen, who has been truly inspirational throughout my candidature. She always shows a tireless enthusiasm to meet, discuss, listen and encourage. Her invaluable advices and faith make all the difference, and I have been blessed to find in her all the good qualities of a supervisor. She has also invested herself in this thesis with enormous commitment, despite her many responsibilities, and I am forever grateful for that. Many thanks must go to my co-supervisor, Professor Binh Pham, who has given all the extra guidance and help that prove to be precious in improving the quality of my work.
