Letter of Motivation

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This quote by the legendary Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, after whom the geo-stationary orbit is named, is more appealing to me than anything else when I think about the sophisticated field of computer science and also the vast exploratory prospects it still has to offer. As a Bachelor of Engineering graduate and having gained the industry exposure in the field of Information Technology, it has only increased my appetite for learning more about it & be competent for a career as a research professional. In the quest for such an exposure, I look forward to graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my area of interest. My fascination towards the field of applied science grew during my days at the Secondary School when I was part of the Science Workshop at the Ahmedabad; In my undergraduate studies, I have benefited from Shantilal Shah Government Engineering College exhaustive curriculum, which has helped me get exposed to the core areas of Information technology & Computers and gain a strong conceptual understanding of the same. However, because of my inquisitive character & my quest to look beyond the text books or the curriculum, in an attempt to comprehend the concepts better, I grabbed every opportunity offered to me to represent my institution at various state & national level technical seminars. My professors were quite appreciative of my efforts. During my UG studies I was always disposed to the concepts of Programming Languages, Communication Systems, C-Programming and Networks; the Wireless and Mobile Communication Networks. Hence I opted for the elective courses which were close to my area of interest. I got the opportunity to do my final year B.E project work at CYGNUS SOFTTECH, where I had the privilege to work with Daxesh paneliya. The hard work put in by the team in developing an ROAD TRANSPORT AUTHORITY using ASP.NET. This remains as the highlight of my academic career till date. During, my first job at HTPL. I was exposed to the Telecommunications & the Network Concepts and I was part of the network developing team providing network solutions to various Telecommunications company. I was specialized in Optical/Data transport Network and its Management. I was soon working as a Network Engineer handling one of the modules (or features) of the Network Management System working independently carrying out the Product Verification. The Clients were particularly appreciative of my efforts to minimize the bugs in networks . I wish to earn a Master of Science in computer science. I intend to follow this up with a career in industrial research. I have spoken to my professors, colleagues and seniors about my choice of University, and I have heard about the Quality of Teaching and the resources made available at the University of Bremen. I have applied at your University because it is reputable for its computing resources and research facilities. The web site revealed a very strong staff involved in extensive research in the area of Information Technology. This has strengthened my resolve to study at your university.

I also think that, socially, living in another country for a while would be a great adventure and a unique experience, especially if it is Germany, known for its rich cultural heritage and for its technological brilliance. In my opinion getting to know different professional cultures and to be able to use different working styles is a vital for a true professional to excel. I bring along a strong grasp of fundamentals in Information technology, an aptitude for teaching and team work, a zest for challenges and an enthusiastic desire to learn all I can. I would like to take with me, in addition to knowledge of Communication Networks, a network of strong and lasting relationships with my teachers and fellow-students. I hope that my background and qualifications are found suitable for a Master of Science in computer science
