Study Plan

Academic Background: I have completed my undergraduate studies in Electrical Computer

Engineering from “COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad Campus”, , Pakistan, in July
2018, with a CGPA of 3.01 out of 4.00. I was an active somehow indulgent student among others
during my undergraduate studies, very often involved in many curricular and co-curricular
activities. In fact, I was up to the mark and honored in the top 1’slist of 120 students in my
undergraduate class. If observed by the meritorious efforts I remain very competent and I have
passed all entrance tests conducted by the academic institution of my education with high
achievements and secured overall 4th place in the whole district. I did my final year thesis
project on “IoT Based Chore Sailing Using SDN Technique” with the group of three members in
which I was made the Group Leader. Data of any person can be accessed globally from
anywhere in the world. In this project, I learned and researched that how data transfer to the
clouds on real time and how it will accessed by authorized personal from anywhere. While
working on this project I found strong motivation in myself towards graduate study and research
in the area of Electrical & Computer Engineering. At present, I am working as a Maintenance
Engineer in Dawlance Group of Companies (the leading household appliances company in
Pakistan); my job’s majorresponsibilities include; Maintenance and Automation of industry’s
power systemand machines along with the planning and the proper allocation of
availableresources to achieve the smooth and efficient operation of the plant byconducting
routine and reactive preventive maintenance activities. Here, inDawlance, I have learned,
researched and practically implemented theapplications of electrical automation engineering in
manufacturing processalong with the extensive knowledge of Electrical automation devices
likedigital relays, vacuum and oil circuit breakers, Programmable LogicControllers,
Programmable automation controllers , Human Machine Interface andinstrumentation devices.
Furthermore, I Led the project “Energy saving by theoptimization of electric motor usage” with
annual savings of 1.2 Million PKR byconducting efficiency analysis, Right sizing of installed
motors, formulatingthe saving calculations and obtaining USAID OFFER by negotiations with
vendorsand USAID audit authorities.Also because of ardent interest and motivation towards
power system automation,I was selected for 16 weeks internship in National Transmission &
DispatchCompany; the sole electric power transmission company of Pakistan. Where Igained
quality level knowledge and working experience about Grid SystemOperations (GSO),
Protection and Instrumentation (P & I), SCADA, Meteringand Testing (M & T). Along with
these technical aspects I also earned practicalknowledge about transmission system planning
including Power Flow Studies,Reactive power compensation studies, Reliability and Stability
Analysis withrespect to interconnection of distributed generation with transmission system.My

thus approach people with positive mind and attitude and always prove tobe helpful with honest
efforts and true dedication. Besides that I always feelvery joyous and fortunate to meet and greet
people belonging to differentbackgrounds and cultures. As such meetings are always important
because theyprove to be beneficial in future also it makes things easy to cope whether oneworks
or studies in his own country or outside the country.

Study Plan in China:I would like to apply for the Master's Degree in Electrical Power system
andits automaton in China because from my current industrial job experience,past internship and
my final year project I come to know the vast practicalapplications of the automation
engineering, this caught my attention andcreated a thirst of knowledge in me to study my chosen
course. My motto is towork in an international field related to Electrical Engineering. Therefore,
Iwould like to gain deeper theoretical and practical knowledge in starting andmanaging most
innovative projects. During my studies, with great hiddenabilities in myself I will try to come up
with the best of everything; toaccompany the professors and university colleagues in carrying out
research andexploring for immense exciting industrial mysteries in the field of powersystem
Automation. After completion of my master’s studies I hope to be able totake part in maximizing
my country’s research technology in such fields tobenefit its economy and enhance the living
standards of my compatriots.I believe that this Masters Program will provide me with the chance
to get toknow with Electrical systems and affiliates me dedicatedly to the industries,which are
living examples of the art of Electrical and automation engineering.I hope that I can gain more
experience in dealing with situations, peoples,systems and demands which will be of a great help
in my future career.

Reasons to study in China: Now the question arises, “Why China?” Reading the books,
watchingthe news, analyzing and observing the people of China, I am really impressed bythe
way these individuals have proved themselves to be dedicated to their workand with true efforts
they have set China as a successful example for otherthird world or developed countries. The fast
growing economy, technologicaladvancement and the global ranking education institutes of
China with highreputation makes a great aspiration to the students and professionals for thebetter
career perspectives. Thus such kind of positivity has boosted my confidencefurther and I am
highly satisfied with the decision I have taken. Moreover,China’s diverse cultural norms and
values, the famous gentle hospitality of itspeople and Pakistan-China all weather friendly
relations since past to promotebilateral trade , acceptance and peace to both sides in great clarity
make mefeel China as my second homeland; also my family fully supports my choice forChina
being my preference for graduate studies. All these reasons put togethermake China an ideal
place for me to do my Masters degree.Concluding it, with high hopes I believe this application
will receive yourfavorable consideration and I will be happy to provide any
additionalinformation you may need. I look forward to receiving your reply.

Biology classes have always fascinated me. Although my grades for other classes were also high, I
was not having the same pleasure that I did during biology classes. When I started at high school,
they had already become my favorite classes. Exploring the living world had become an enormous
interest for me. That is why I guess my years in high school molded my decisions about my
prospective career. Until then, I had considered a general spectrum spanning being a doctor, a
biologist, a molecular biologist and geneticist, and an ecologist.

As my major, I resolved to study Molecular Biology and Genetics, because I envision that it will lead
the 21st century. A general understanding of the mechanisms underlying life in combination with
gene therapeutics could prevent most, if not all, fatal diseases, including cancers and AIDS, and
could also be used to treat nonlife-threatening disorders such as
infertility. Selection of “healthy” gametes may increase the rate of successful fertilization and lead to
healthy generations in turn. Life expectancy will increase as new approaches are discovered. The
quality of life will improve as well as longevity. Indeed, increasing the level of food supplies by
genetically engineered plants has already been a hope to meet the demands of the ever-increasing
human population.
As I was introduced to the departmental classes and laboratory sessions at XXXX University, I
became totally sure that Molecular Biology and Genetics was the right field for me. I never felt
uneasy in laboratories with which I was essentially familiar. It was such an incredible experience to
grow bacteria, extract their DNA, run it on a gel and visualize it under UV light. And voila! The
DNA bands, otherwise invisible, mysteriously appeared! It was like solving the mystery of the map
of King Solomon’s Lost Treasure; under daylight nothing is visible but under moonlight when the
moon is full and nearest to the earth, the directions showing the way to the Treasure appear. In that
instant, I realized that laboratories were still my playgrounds; having fun while exploring, which
turned out to be my lifestyle as the years passed by.

After a while, I felt that the classes and laboratory sessions were no longer sufficient to satisfy my
hunger of exploring. Hence, starting from the second term of my undergraduate study, I volunteered
in various projects in the research labs:
In Dr. Green’s laboratory, I was mainly introduced to practical techniques, learned how to handle
laboratory equipment and how to work in a team as well as familiarizing with the fields of Cell and
Molecular Biology. In Dr. Brown’s laboratory, as an independent research student working on
starfish oocytes, I learned how to read scientific papers, scientific thinking, troubleshooting, asking,
testing and analyzing a problem as well as new techniques. It was Dr. Brown who introduced me to
Developmental Biology.

As I finished the second year of my degree, I decided to have a working experience abroad. My aim
was first, to survive on my own in a different culture and secondly, to familiarize with as many fields
as possible so that I would be better able to choose the field for my graduate study. For this reason, I
applied to Professor Black’s laboratory at Harvard School of Public Health and was introduced to
Biochemistry. I attended various orientation programs related to laboratory safety, radioactivity, and
biologically hazardous materials. My stay there resulted in an accelerated publication and provided
me to take a part in criticizing and writing a scientific article. At the end of my study, I presented my
work, which was my first presentation. Since I enjoyed my stay in Harvard very much and I was
attracted to Developmental Biology the most, I decided to organize another internship for the
summer following my junior year.

In Professor Johnson’s laboratory at Kings College London, this time working on spermatozoa, I
attained a better understanding of Endocrinology and Developmental Biology and learned how to
handle laboratory animals. The data that I obtained during my study there will be published in a
perspective article. And as a project student in my final year, feeling increasingly self-confident, I
have resolved to study further as soon as I finish my degree. I believe that my critical, independent
thinking will improve more as I go through graduate education, specialize and have a leading role in
a research project. I feel totally ready to challenge such a responsibility.

I would like to continue my education in biology, which started at the age of six, at Duke University.
It is among the top ten universities in the world. The research conducted by the distinguished faculty
in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology is unique to just a few places in the world and has
been published in top journals. Moreover, Duke University provides various subjects and advisors to
the graduate students to choose for their study, especially in Developmental Biology.
Taking these facts into consideration as well as the experiences that I had in the USA during my stay,
I believe that Duke University would be the best choice for my education following my graduation.
