Purpose of study

A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of
technology motivated me to take up engineering. I choose to major in Electrical power
engineering with an intense urge to delve into the challenging field. During my under
graduate program, I learned the various fundamentals of Electrical Engineering which
together with practical course work reinforce me to take interest in that vary field.
I am ambitious to avail this scholarship as my interest lie specifically in the field of
renewable energy sources (solar technology). My MS Research work has been completed
in the field of thin film Photovoltaic technology. The thin film solar cell technology is in
fact the conversion of the energy carried by photoelectric radiation into electrical energy
which is a physical phenomenon. Solar cells are without doubt the most important type of
device for carrying out such conversion. Not only at the research and development level
is this happening, many practical applications are also emerging. One of the major
obstacles for the world wide development of the photovoltaic is the production cost, so
the main aim was to produce electricity competitively and renewably and selected
technology is best suited for these criteria.
I am clear as to my carrier aspiration; education is a life long process. I therefore wish to
pursue a doctoral degree after my MS. I am fully aware that yours curriculum requires
that I summon all my resources. I am convinced that my study at your Lab would be
meaningful and rewarding experience.
I intend to study about the electrical power technology with specialization in renewable
energy resources. Presently about 84% of total of electricity in the whole world is
generated by coal fired power houses, emitting 170 million tons of carbon dioxide every
year, polluting the environment and making it hazardous for all living things. Pakistan is
also in the grip of severe energy crisis that is affecting all sectors of economy and various
segment of society. Our government has already taken steps about it which I think are not
sufficient to overcome the energy, the reason behind this is the lack of modern
technology and skilled manpower in energy sector. By availing this opportunity I will be
equipped with modern technological techniques which I will implement in the home
country with a vision of improving the energy problems of my country as well as I will
play my role in research going on in many universities regarding renewable energy
resources.
The other reason why I want to study at your esteemed university is that it provides the
kind of expose needed to broaden my thinking. Overall development of the personality
can be done and it helps me to broaden my concept from the narrower confines of
nationalism to internationalism.
My innate strength has been my quantitative and analytical abilities which instilled me a
special interest for mathematical and physics. I would like to present my past
performance as my credentials for my success in my future endeavors I hope I will be
given a chance to make my life useful.
