I still remember how my grandfather used to listen songs on radio every evening. As a kid I was curious to know from where the sound was coming. So oneday I decided to open it up. I found some electronic components inside it. Before I could analyse anything, my grandpa ran after me with his stick. That was my first encounter with electronic components and his stick. My interest in electronics and communication devices grew strongly afterwards. That interest led me to opt for Electronics and Communication stream for my undergraduate studies. My undergraduate curriculum exposed me to a wide gamut of courses like computer networks, analog communication, digital communication, wave propagation and microelectronics. All the courses were taught in English. I did my summer training at Doordarshan Kendra (public service national broadcaster). There I learnt about the various stages (power supply control, signal generation, signal processing, transmission and reception) and processes involved in an efficient communication process. My undergraduate project titled “Drip Irrigation system using GSM modem” involved the design of microcontroller based real time feedback control system that monitors and controls the various parameters like moisture, temperature and pressure of air at remote location. The project helped me to practically implement the theoretical concepts studied in undergraduate courses. After completing my B.E, I joined Mtech in Instrumentation and control engineering at XYZ. There I was introduced to new exciting subjects – Neural networks, optimal control systems, digital control systems and robotics. My Mtech dissertation title was “Investigation into Quality of service in ZigBee based Wireless sensor networks”. The simulation models were designed on OPNET 14.5. The various prominent issues in wireless sensor networks like mobility, coverage and connectivity, scalability and heterogeneity have been investigated by observing the QoS parameters like MAC delay, throughput, packet delay etc. I want to work on other issues of WSNs like data assimilation, security and routing. Whatever I have studied in my bachelor and master degrees has formed a strong base and I would like to build on it by joining a unique course in ‘Wireless sensors and Embedded systems’ offered by the university. I want to develop the practical understanding of all the aspects of Wireless sensor networks. I am specifically drawn to the curriculum of the course particularly the intelligent sensor fusion module and mobile robotics and wireless sensors module. I look forward to a career in research where I can use my academic background to achieve my research goals and also make some contribution to the advancement of my country. I am confident that University of XXX is the right place where I could see the flowering of my budding ambitions. I am sure with persistent efforts, I shall be able to develop my engineering skills to the standards set by the institute and be a worthy alumnus. It will provide me a great opportunity to be a part of this global village culture and work with students from different nations. Thank you for your time and consideration.
