My decision to pursue graduate
study in the United States is underscored by my desire to be a part of the
graduate program at your institution. Purdue University offers the flexibility
needed for such a vast and rapidly changing field. The research facilities and
the faculty at the university are par excellent.
Communications is an industry that
has changed our lives. In a very short period it has changed the
way we have looked at things since centuries. It is one industry
that is going to shape our future for centuries to come. Hence
my desire to do masters in electrical engineering with communications as
my major.
My interest in electronics blossomed
during my high school years. It was the time when technology had begun
to make an impact on the lives of people in India. Hence engineering
with electronics as my major was the first choice for my undergraduate
studies. Right since the beginning of my undergraduate study electronics
is a subject that has fascinated me with its power of applications. The
subjects that I have studied include Linear Electronics, Digital Electronics.
These laid the foundation for my courses in Electronic Communication &
Communication Systems at a later stage. My undergraduate studies already
focus on the communications aspect of electronics. A masters degree in
electrical engineering with communications as major field is the
next logical step.
For the past four months I have
been working as a project trainee at the Indian Institute for Advanced
Electronics. I am working on the design and development of a "PC Controlled
Digital Serial Data Generator". This short stint has given me invaluable
practical experience. It has given me the confidence to pursue a
masters degree and also kindled a desire to do research.
During the course of my work at IIAE,
I have come across several scientists. Most of them work in different
areas of communications. Interactions with them have made me realize the
vastness and the scope of communications. My discussions with them convinced
me that specializing in communications will suit me very well.
The subject of research which interests
me very much is spread spectrum communication systems. Coding theory
and combinations is another research subject which arouses my curiosity.
The subject Communication Theory which I am studying at present introduces
these topics in theory. I am eager to find out more about the applications
of coding theory to spread spectrum communication systems.
It is a strong belief in my family
that the American education system has the best to offer in the whole world.
This belief arises out of the experience that my parents had when they
did their Masters of Science in the University of Pennsylvania during
the years 1967-69. If I can get an opportunity to be a part of that intellectually
stimulating environment, I am sure my talents will be put to optimal use.
India is a developing country
with an enormous potential in the information technology business. To serve
the needs of this developing industry and more important its vast population,
communications is going to become of utmost importance. Thus conditions
here are very conducive to supplement my aspirations when I return after
completing my graduate studies.
