STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Being born in a traditional family convergent with patrimony, I used to wonder at the style of education, imparted in the school of western system and discipline where I studied, as knowledge fortified was in a different style and discipline coupled with the culture that prevail in India.

Striving to achieve the pinnacle of success in all my endeavors has been my defining character and I believe a strong foundation to my technical expertise would go a long way in reaching the aforesaid target. A strong academic backbone has been the driving force of my entire career and has been reflected quite clearly in my grads all along, right from school to my current position en route to graduation. With a consistent performance in all my exams, I have always been amongst the top five percent of the class.

Right from a very young age, I was so curious about the happenings around me, so to say the phenomenal rise of electronic technology that mooted a rapid change of lifestyle imbibed with comforts and luxuries, in the form of television, desktops, cellular phone, the ability to invade space through rockets in pursuit of more information of the space that remained a mystery till the advent of technology on par, drawing numerous scientists into more research in quest. Having been wonderstruck I found an EMBRYO raring to sprout to the extent I desire for comprehensive knowledge in the above mentioned areas, which propelled me to pursue undergraduation in Electronics and Communication.

Study at school unfolded different aspects of science-physics, chemistry, etc., Physics and its scope caught my eyes. Fundamentals of physics by Halliday, Resnick and walker triggered my liking towards physics. During under-graduation, I was bemused by the concepts of Field Theory, which is of fundamental importance to physicists and to electrical and computer engineers, as it is indispensable in understanding of cathode ray oscilloscopes, radar, satellite communication, television reception, remote sensing, optical fiber communication, transients in transmission lines and so on. Even circuit concepts represent a restricted version, a special case, of electromagnetics. I also had the opportunity to study subjects like Signals and Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Fundamentals of HDL, CMOS-VLSI, Analog and Mixed Mode-VLSI and the concepts of Microcontrollers and Microprocessors (8086), which were really fascinating.

In my final year of under-graduation, I joined hands with three other students to undertake a project. Our project consisted of designing a Smart Irrigation System Using ARM7. The heart of the system consisted of the ARM7-LPC2148 processor. This is one of the most interesting large projects that I had a chance to be a part of.

Digital Signal Processing is one of the brightest spots in the semiconductor business today. Like earlier advances in microprocessors and computer memories, digital signal processing is a foundation technology with the power to transform broad areas of the electronics industry. Its impact is being felt in applications as diverse as stereo systems, cars, cellular phones, personal computers and so on. In the next few years, digital signal processing should give rise to hundreds of new products and change what people expect from technology.

The fact that the global Programmable Digital Signal Processor s market has returned to the growing phase after the global economic recession and is expected to grow steadily over the next 5 years. The trend in embedded systems, in which the integrated circuits transistor capacity doubled roughly every 18 months for the past several decades, has enabled the proliferation of low cost, high performance embedded systems that we can see today. The rapid developments in the integrated circuit technology have inspired me to pursue graduation in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with specialization in the field of embedded systems and VLSI design. The future in this field is ever increasing and provides opportunity for the to-be engineers in this field. I am confident that I will be able to use the knowledge that I gain from my Masters program effectively while working for an electronics industry.

This apart, I am fondly involved in learning music that helps frame equanimity of mind, which I am in pursuit of. As The purpose of life is a life of purpose, exhaustive learning is vital for human beings to make something of the precious life.

Having decided to acquire extensive knowhow through a university of United States of Americas repute, thus fulfilling my aspirations towards research and innovation as I have the required passion to serve with verve. I am of the opinion that its a matter of pride and privilege of my lifetime to be a part of one of your universities, wherein, I am bound to come out with flying colors due to the infrastructure and proficiency of the teaching staff which all of them are known for.
