申请美国大学研究生的个人陈述篇一

i was introduced to mathematics and the physical sciences while at school and it was in high school that i considered a career in this area. the desire to study the applied physical sciences and mathematics prompted me to take the joint entrance examination (jee) for admission to the indian institutes of technology. i was ranked in the top 0.25 % of the nearly 1,00,000 students who took the examination.

my undergraduate education at iit bombay has not only given me a certain set of skills but has also helped me understand my fields of interest and my academic strengths and weaknesses. this understanding has made me realize that though the applied physical sciences appeal to me, my strengths lie in applied mathematics and in abstractions of reality. in particular, i am interested in the managerial aspects of industrial and technological systems. this interest developed during my junior year seminar titled ‘productivity management’ in which i explored the relationship between manufacturing strategy and productivity improvement. i continued further research in this area through my senior year project titled ‘decision support system for quality control’ which sought to investigate various decision making mechanisms in the quality function and provide corresponding computer support. the project also enabled me to appreciate the interaction between manufacturing and the other functions of the firm especially information systems. the reading of certain outstanding books during the course of my research such as skinner’s ‘manufacturing in the corporate strategy’, deming’s ‘out of the crisis’ and goldratt’s ‘the goal’ finally convinced me to pursue a ph.d. in operations management and an academic career thereafter.

my past work in the area of industrial engineering and operations research was characterised by a dichotomy of approaches. the courses that i took in this area dealt with various operational and tactical issues. the basic aim was to understand a specific problem, model the problem appropriately and find an optimal or reasonably optimal solution using the techniques of operations research. this has given me a good background in issues related to methodology, modelling, and heuristic solutions. on the other hand, my research has been oriented towards strategic issues. the basic thrust of my junior year seminar and senior year project has been ‘integrative’. through my future research efforts i would like to understand this dichotomy better. initially, i want to study rigorous model-based methods and do research on operational and tactical topics. after gaining a thorough grounding in these topics, i am interested in applying the same methodologies and techniques to strategic topics in operations management.

i believe that i have the qualities to be a good researcher and teacher. i am a creative person and often think in a contemplative way about various issues of practical importance. being able to identify patterns and relationships that are not obvious to others is perhaps my greatest strength. this will prove very valuable because an integral part of being a researcher and teacher is to perceive the balance between theory and practice, analytical rigor and intuition. my communication skills are good and i like expressing ideas and concepts both in oral and written form - an ideal platform for the dissemination of knowledge in my chosen field of specialization.

the krannert graduate school of management is one of the best schools of management in the world with a strong orientation towards research. the spanersity of research interests in the operations management group is of particular interest to me. the eminent faculty and the inspanidualized nature of the doctoral program will definitely bring out the best in me. i would like to reiterate that i possess the background, the ability and the motivation to make a significant contribution to operations management. i hope you will take a favorable decision regarding my admission to the ph.d. program and i look forward to joining the krannert graduate school of management and purdue university.

when introduced to economics in high school i realized that it interestingly qualified as a subject of both arts and science. it was an area defined by precise rules, principles and axioms and yet there was tremendous scope for self-expression in the form of interpretation and analysis. this facet of economics intrigued me very much and i decided to pursue further studies in economics.

during my master's program i equipped myself as best as i could, with various tools used in economic analysis. i obtained rigorous training in mathematics, econometrics and game theory. after completing the master's program, i joined national institute of public finance and policy, as i was very eager to see how one might use economics to tackle real life problems, where simplified models, and assuming away of problems may offer no respite. i did some very interesting work here, which is described in my resume. i want to delve deeper into the subject to be able to carry out independent research and analysis, hence my decision to join the ph.d. program at ucla.

international economics is an area i would really like to explore. i am fascinated by game theoretic modeling of issues pertaining to international economics. i believe that game theoretic models can be effectively used in international economics as many policy issues such as negotiations over mutual reductions in tariffs, formation and preservation of customs union s, establishment of cartels in the case of internationally traded goods, all have some game theoretic character.

the current "regionalism versus multilateralism" debate holds its own attraction. it should be interesting to analyze the trade spanersion effects of preferential trading agreements and also their impact on multilateral institutions like gatt. the strategic trading that takes place in foreign exchange markets and the variety of auction like mechanisms that have been used for foreign exchange trade, especially in developing countries, are intriguing.

during my graduate studies i aim to equip myself with some advanced tools and develop my analytical and research capabilities. i want to get an excellent command over econometrics to be able to confront stochastic statistical data with exact models of economic theories and also for empirical verification of other models, which might otherwise be set in a partial equilibrium framework. i expect to emerge as an economic engineer and an expert in model etrics per se, also interests me as a subject of economics and i might like to research in econometric methodology. i want to be an academic economist. i have cleared the national eligibility test conducted by the university grants commission of india, which makes me eligible to teach an undergraduate course in economics in any indian university.

i want to study at ucla, as it emphasizes on the rigor and analytical tools that are necessary for academic research. i have well-developed analytical and mathematical skills and i want to exploit these skills to the greatest extent. i feel the help and guidance that can be provided to me by the distinguished faculty of your university will be invaluable. i am sure if i am given the opportunity to study at your university that attracts some of the best students from all over the world, it will provide an environment competitive enough to bring out the best in me.
