Hi Amir,
I disagree that this is a good solution. A better approach is IMO to 
consider whether you can use TeXmacs for your work as a PhD student or 
not; if for example TeXmacs is incompatible with collaboration with 
other people in your workgroup or if your advisor wants you to write in 
LaTeX (which maybe happens rarely, but I do not know), then it is better 
to use LaTeX. Otherwise if your advisor wants to know what program are 
you writing with, you can explain that it is a program built according 
to the idea that structured writing and WYSIWYG can be realized at the 
same time.
