I feel that these courses have done a lot to prepare me for my future studies and research work.
People travel miles in search of their true passion; some find them early in their life and I consider myself lucky enough to be one among them. I found my true calling at the age of 12 on a field trip to a milk factory. It seemed like the Disneyland of science with huge machineries, conveyer belts running all around, and instruments working about in their own rhythm with sheer intricacies and perfection. As a kid, I was eager to understand the mechanics behind this magical rhythm. The desire of gaining in-depth knowledge about Control System and Automation eventually led me to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my undergraduate study.
Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated and mystified by the working of machines. Watching a simple arrangement of gears perform complex function was nothing less than an illusion. I was always fascinated by games like Lego and Machine Mechanics because they required my utmost concentration and attention. Dismantling and mantling my toys always gave me a sense of satisfaction. Overdriven by my fascination and curiosity I took science as a major in high school and finally mechanical engineering as a specialization in my bachelors degree.
I wish to pursue the MS program in Computer Science with a focus on Computer Security. Computer - the sumptuous machine has always fascinated me for its endless possibilities. My deep interest in computer science stems from a natural aptitude for logical reasoning and mathematics.
