Academic Intent

Statement of Academic Intent After scrutinizing my interests, past B.Sc. and M.Sc. educations, work experiences and final ambition, I have decided to pursue a PhD in Computer Science, in my field of interest which is Health Informatics and Big Data, which will lead me to a research career of data analyst. I have described my academic background, research interests and career goals in this essay. The undergraduate program of "Computer Engineering – Software" at the Azad University of Tehran, Iran provided me with a strong foundation of Software Engineering and exposed me to its various fields. I have always been interested in data-related problems, which eventually led to an inclination towards software analysis and design methods for data-intensive

My purpose of research lies in the fields of Health Informatics, Big Data, Cloud Computing and innovating Data Mining and Machine Learning methods to improve analysis of large amount of data generated in the public and private industrial sectors, such as healthcare data in my current employment. I believe that I have strong dedication and motivation required for successful career in these fields using big data analytics and computing techniques to improve the health care of the

I have found the research topics of Professor Carolyn McGregor quite impressive. I believe that to be associated with this research faculty would give me a great opportunity to pursue my career in research and industry. In addition to the Big Data real-time analytics platform called Artemis, I have also been astonished by the unique facilities available at your university's health informatics research laboratory that support fundamental and applied research and provides innovative advanced prototyping and simulation environment to support next-generation health informatics solutions such as simulated current and proposed next-generation functions of intensive care units (ICUs) and neonatal ICUs (NICUs). My graduate supervisor and professors have also backed my decision to pursue my higher education at your renowned university. I am confident that given an opportunity, I will be proved useful and could make significant contribution to a going research. I look forward to joining UOIT as a postgraduate PhD student at Health Informatics Research
