My Ultimate Goal Is to Start a Software Company

My ultimate goal is to start Software Company which uses graphics and visualization technology to provide solutions for urban development and planning, bio-medical research and education. Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign with specialization in Computer Graphics will further help me with my goal as it will enable me to develop advanced knowledge of this field and its applications. The Computer Science department at University of Illinois, known for its quality education and emphasis on research and innovation, will provide me with the opportunity to acquire the best knowledge of this field by learning from its renowned faculty and gain practical experience by participating in their research work. I would also like to take advantage of the institute’s support for new technological ventures through programs such as Think Chicago and Invention to Venture (I2V) and competitions such as TEC’s Cozad New Venture Competition and Illinois Innovation Program to gain understanding of how to start a software business.

Through my venture, I aim to provide such solutions that help people harness the power of graphics technology to refine their professional activities. The Rome Reborn project – a virtual reconstruction of AD 320 Rome – is a commendable example of how graphics can be used to disseminate knowledge. I would like to tap this technology to develop software that make imparting education a more engaging experience. With the growing urban population and emphasis on vertical expansion, sustainable planning of urban architecture has become very necessary to counter the damages from natural and man-made disasters. My aim is to develop low cost, high performance software that can be us...
