Statement of Purpose

"Hold fast to your dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

I would like to introduce myself as Rob Geis. Since my childhood I’ve been inclined to having a practical approach to everything in life and have been greatly supported and encouraged by my parents throughout. Having a house nearer to an airport and watching the planes take-off and land daily from the terrace was the first seed sowed in my heart that made me take up engineering so that I could be as nearer to my passion of aeronautics as possible.

In my high-school, I discovered my interest for physics and mathematics and this led me to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering which included my interest of electronics and subjects related to aeronautics like control systems, computer engineering, automation and robotics, not to forget thermal engineering and fluid mechanics too. Having secured an aggregate of 91.6% in my High School, I’ve taken up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry for my classes 11 and 12 to be able to pursue engineering. Scoring 88.6% in my 11th and 12th I’ve had the chance of taking up Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering Program at the GITAM Institute of Technology, GITAM University, one of the oldest and prestigious ranking universities of INDIA.

The field of computer engineering especially the control systems, automation and robotics has always enthralled me and automation is going to revolutionize the already fast paced lives in the modern world. It is a norm in every sphere of this world. And I hope that an MS in Computer Engineering form University of Southern California would put me in the forefront of this conquest. At GITAM Institute of Technology, GITAM University, I am cu...

I have no doubt that University of Southern California is ‘THE’ appropriate University for me, since it provides a unique mix of educational advantages. It is one of the most dynamic universities providing personal attention and extensive academic resources along with superior education in the field of Computer Engineering with the help of a capacious course. Here, I will receive an education that gives me both the technical skills and the intellectual discipline to become a leader in the industry. In all, it is a comprehensive university that furnishes an education that will serve me well in my career and prepare me for a lifetime of learning. This will ultimately help me provide vital contributions to society and work in a way to expedite the advancement and betterment of humanity as a whole.
