I'd love to hear more about your thesis (offline question most likely).

I thought I'd add in the detail that I found on another site about one 
pulsar.

"For example, a pulsar called PSR J1603-7202 is known to have a period
  of 0.0148419520154668 seconds. However the periods of all radio pulsars
  are increasing extremely slowly. The period of PSR J1603-7202 increases
  by just 0.0000005 seconds every million years!"

I don't know how close you could get to syncing with a pulsar signal, 
but this
is one to discuss.

Thanks
Jim
