I always took immense pleasure in learning. The inquisitive nature of mine has constantly driven me to explore the events happening around. My undergraduate degree at Vellore Institute of Technology has given me substantial exposure to research work in the fields of Networks and Intelligent Systems. One year of professional experience at Samsung India R&D center has helped me develop an analytical mindset to work towards latest technology. I have thus developed an aspiration to work on frontiers of Computer Science research. My passion towards academics has fetched me rewards in the form of Endowment Award and Merit Scholarships throughout the four years in college. With a desire to discover more about Intelligent Systems and Networks, I want to pursue my graduation at your university. Being an avid Chess player, I first played against the computer when I was in high school. It was my first encounter with an “intelligent system”. Having known the intricacies of playing the game, I was stunned to see that a system has been developed to simulate the game. It did not take me much time to realize the potential of such a system. I had a notion that, what if such a system is extended to include more features, so that it can assist humans in a better way? This fascination with systems prompted me to take up Bachelors Degree in the field of Information Technology. During my undergraduate studies, I was invariably drawn towards working with Intelligent Systems. Being a research assistant for two years with Dr. B.K. Tripathy, a renowned Professor in the domain of Rough Set Theory gave me an opportunity to closely observe and conduct research. Adding onto this, I published two conference proceedings and a journal paper under his guidance, wh...

...d cryptography closely matches with my recent project domain where I have developed a three party mutual authentication system and in my undergraduate an e-commerce structure for SMME using MAC address as digital identity. Having worked on Intelligent Systems and Networks in my undergraduate, it has been my long standing aspiration to work at world’s best research centers and develop self-sufficient, secured and intelligent network. I am sure that it can be realized by working here. This instantly has driven me to apply for your graduate program so as to pursue my interests in these fields. Also, I believe that, using the technical skills I have acquired over the past five years I can contribute to the research done at these labs and can be a value addition by providing solutions to some of the tough challenges the industry is facing, and thereby serve the community.
