I would like to build on my solid educationand experience as an engineer for a Ph.D. Degree in computer science at adistinguished university. I wish in particular to be trained at an advancedlevel in a specialized area that related to algorithm and mathematics. Myultimate goal is to become a professor teaching computer science at a Chineseuniversity. I believe that advanced training in a quality graduate program willhelp me realize the goal.
I spent my undergraduate life in MinzuUniversity of China which is famous for its high quality teaching and the uniquefeature of multinational culture. During my four years’ study in computerscience and technology, I was enrolled in a full range of basic coursesincluding Programming Languages, Data Structure, Higher Mathematics, Principlesof Electric Circuits and Networks. With a sophisticated understanding of thesecourses, I have been well positioned to appreciate the basic theories ofcomputer science. I was extremelyinterested in algorithms design and mathematics and scored highly in most ofthem. My GPA was consistently in the top 10% in my department. Furthermore, asrecognition of my academic achievements, I was awarded the national scholarshipin the first year and the second prize scholarship in the second year.
In 2009, after finishing my undergraduatestudy, I passed the competitive graduate entrance examination and was acceptedby the Cognitive Science Department in school of Information Science andTechnology in Xiamen University which lies in the top 10 universities and itsCognitive Science is outstanding in China. In the first year of my graduatestudy, I attended a series of specialized courses such as Advanced ArtificialIntelligence, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Computer Visionwhich widened my horizon and deepened my understanding in computer science. Ialso distinguished myself by my academic record and won the second prizescholarship every year.
Through the long-term learning in computerscience, I found that the technology related strongly to logical thinking likealgorithm and mathematics fascinates me most. I actively took every possiblechance to obtain the algorithm knowledge and practice my programming skills. Inorder to complete the curriculum design in 2006, I accomplished the basicdesign and functions of a simple library management system and the teacher gaveme high score. In 2007, I cooperated with other two classmates and implementeda simple ATM system which was based on the CS structure. Some techniques suchas database, data communication and multi-thread technique involved in thesystem and it can achieve more than one person to login and operate accurately.
In 2009, I worked as an internship in an ITcompany which was devoted to constructing a heuristic search platform. Theirproducts included spider, vertical search system and so on. My task wasprogramming in C language in spider to obtain the data on Internet. Thispractice experience broaden my horizon in the application of computer scienceand improved my programming skills much more. In the meanwhile, I learned a lotin the abilities of cooperation, communication and expressing. The CTO speakhighly of my initiative, consciousness and confidence.

In 2010, during the lab experience, I cameinto touch with image processing for the first time. The experiment presented anovel method for nature scene images classification via partially connectedneural network which didn’t need any feature extraction. However, the size ofthe images must be the same. So in the experiment I used two methods ofinterpolation and continuation to adjust the sizes of the images. The result ofthe experiment was satisfactory and finally published on the journal of XiamenUniversity. The image processing relied on much knowledge related to algorithmand mathematics which suits me in particular. Afterwards, I learned more aboutthis area and make a decision to explore it in depth.
Apart from learning, I participated in someextra-curriculum activities especially the volunteering. In the first year ofmy graduate life, I joined a department under the college’s postgraduateassociation. There I organized a lot of interesting activities such as qualitydevelopment activities and outdoor cross country challenge to relieve ourresearch pressure. The volunteering was the most important activity in ourdepartment. We held a special program named Ri-Xin Plan in Chinese which meantrenew yourself everyday to help the low-grade students in their study and life.The program was highly praised by the students as well as the leaders of thecollege and it was still going on now.We also went to the specialeducation school to help the kids who had a mental retardation and play withthem. In the second year, I was elected as the leader of the department and organizeda series of volunteer activities included the marathon volunteer activities. Witha strong sense of responsibility, I made a remarkable job.
I believe the overseas learning experiencecan provide me advanced studies especially in my interesting area of imageprocessing and enrich my life experience. With the training that goes into sucharea, I think I will be able to take great strides towards fulfilling myprofessional objective—to be an excellent professor and researcher in computer science.
