Imagine his joy if he’d be able to witness IBM’s Deep Blue beating world champion chess player Gary Kasparov. I sincerely want to contribute to the field of Computer Science for which, I am more than excited to pursue a graduate degree at your university. The approach that the education system of the US follows is what I truly admire. Also studying from …show more content…
I have been an active member of the photography club of my university – Shutterbugs. I served as the social media manager of this club for the past academic year. This experience has helped me build a strong network, an absolute necessity in this age of globalization.

For this reason, I seek to pursue MS in Computer Science program at Arizona State University. I bring with me the fundamental knowledge required for the graduate course. Your excellent research facilities are one of the key factors that attracts me to the course at Arizona State University. Among all the work that is being carried out at the Department of Computer Science, I find the work in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning resembling my area of interest. I am particularly interested in the work of Professor Rao and Professor Huan Liu, it would be an honour to be associated with them. I believe that the technical exposure along with the cultural experience that I will gain by associating with the student community at Arizona State University will be highly valuable in the long
