Electronic gadgets always intrigued me to understand their functioning at a deeper level. This prompted me to perform experiments on dissection of household electronics right from configuring a Clapper to toggle the lights in my room to controlling electronic devices through different computer interfaces. Major decisions made right from my under-graduation to professional career have led me to this stage of life wherein I seek the opportunity to pursue a Masters in Computer Science. This realization first struck me when I began to gain interest in programming during high school while learning C++ and SQL as a part of my course. My interest in computers took me on the journey of understanding its basic fundamentals, wherein I was also recognized for my proficiency and awarded for scoring the highest marks in Computer Science. The subject of my interest and coursework includes Digital Electronics & Communication, Electronic Measurement and Instrumentation, Microcontrollers and Object Oriented Programming. The ElectroMechanical function of a sensor that converts a physical quantity or an effect into a signal fascinated me the most. I got introduced to a wide array of sensors in my undergrad course work at Electronics & Communication Engineering Department, Gyan Vihar School of Engineering & Technology Jaipur. To continue learning more about Sensors and Microcontrollers, I attended few technical workshops conducted by ‘Thinklabs’, an incubation of Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I learned about different techniques of making smart vehicles which use light sensors to avoid obstacles, follow a path based on color, calculate distance of an object and respond to radio frequency signals. I realized that after capturing vario... ... middle of paper ... ...bedded system projects and software applications, I have gained profound knowledge in design & development of intelligent systems. I am truly interested to be a part of Human Language Technology Research Institute. I am confident that I will be able to additively use my skill and experience in his research projects and qualify for Research Assistantship. I believe after learning in depth about Adaptive Algorithms and Natural Language Processing, I shall manage to leap towards R&D division of major IT organizations. With the driving force to prove my worth and stand out in every aspect I can ensure to extract the maximum from the knowledge that I will gain in this reputed University. With this aspiration and dream to make it bigger in life I would wish to put forward my candidacy for attaining a Masters of Science in Computer Science at University of Texas, Dallas.
