horizons in chemical engineering research for me. Regarding my experience, I am looking forward to
rg
working with these professors and I hope they would support me in achieving my ultimate goal. Third,
studying and living in the United States will allow me to improve global and social values in myself. I
r.o
think besides my theory and practical experiments which I learned in my bachelor program, working on
my favorite research areas which exist in Oregon State University will make me a well-trained chemical
ga
engineer. Also I can gain suitable qualifications to work as a chemical engineer in petroleum industries.

To describe my character and personality briefly, I should say that interest and enthusiasm in
rp
the subject has always played the major role as the motivation for my continuous endeavors to achieve
my goals.

Over the years in school, as I was so interested in chemistry, physics and applied mathematics, I
go
selected an undergraduate course in chemical engineering because I felt it was the only field which
included study of the basic sciences and mathematics. Another reason behind this choice was that, I
sh
searched about different kinds of engineering but I found that just chemical engineers create
ne
innovations by solving technological problems that affect the life of normal man in surprising ways. For
me, this was a great opportunity to directly serve society.

During my undergraduate study, I have studied about catalyst and different uses of this
material in chemical industries, in addition; I have been strongly interested in teamwork and
experimental researches, hence; I decided to join the Catalyst group under supervision of Prof. Halladj
in our department, because of my strong background in the department I was accepted in the group.
My major research, which my bachelor thesis is based on, is entitled “Effect of Multi Structure
Directing Agents on the Synthesis of Nano Sized ZSM-5.” It has been well known that ZSM-5 zeolite,
one of synthetic zeolites with high silica content, is a promising catalyst for the conversion of lower
hydrocarbons or methanol to gasoline and middle distillate. We have been working in catalyst groups
for a year to synthesize ZSM-5 with new temples and carry out some tests on them to collect data and
observe how ZSM-5 reacts. Besides, I have studied over thirty articles about Dendrimers to get general
information, especially about Polyamidoamin (PAMAM) Dendrimers. Dendrimers are class of polymeric
material that the structure of this material has the great impacts on the chemical and physical
properties of it which helps to bring drugs to target cells. Studying about this area has given me a
general review and has encouraged me to work further on Drug Delivery areas. If I have opportunity, I
would like to do some research and practical experiment in this field because I think I have enough
general knowledge about that.
In the third year of my undergraduate, I spent my training course in Offshore Oil Company
where I learnt a lot about inspection and maintenance, different production processes and
.ir
mechanisms. It was an amazing experience because the relationship between my courses and their
rg
practical applications became quite clear for me.
r.o
For three years, Regarding my interest and dominance in teaching, I also have worked as a
mathematics teacher in some private institutions in Tehran which help me to enhance my skills in
ga
teaching, managing class and making relation with students. Because of this experience and my
academic background, l have an offer from one of my professors to be a teacher assistant for
ar
undergraduate students; if I continue my education in master in department of chemical engineering
rp
In summary, after four years of studying, teaching, researching and lots of experience in
different fields to be versatile in the highest level university and academic environment in my country,
s
go
my insatiable enthusiasm in learning new things and research leads me to decide to start my graduate
program in a higher academic atmosphere in the world. I feel that a graduate study program in
sh
chemical engineering at Oregon State University will help to prepare me for a successful career in the
chemical and petroleum industry. It would be a great privilege to do my graduate studies at Oregon
ne
State University and I am quite confident that I will match the high standards set by your famous
da
institution.
