Essay / Pursuing higher education in the United States - 1036
We can always rely on studies of matter at the atomic scale to discover unique and unusual things. Given the way materials act under certain conditions, it often seems that one of these characteristics leads to the other, without explanation. It is this volatility and enthusiasm that has solidified my continued passion in this field and in my life's endeavors. It is the curiosity of the unexpected, the search for a better understanding of our world on an atomic scale and in a dynamic environment, that leads me to pursue higher studies in the United States. My parents say I have always been a curious girl. Throughout my childhood, I played with all kinds of science toys and tried to figure out how things worked. My exceptional academic performance has earned me many national level awards in India. By the end of my early studies, I had developed a keen interest in science and decided to work in it and chose it as a career. I was fascinated by one of my undergraduate subjects, physics. I took several basic physics courses and my overall grades in undergrad were excellent. This preparation led me to pass the National Graduate-ship of Physics exam during my undergraduate studies in India. To further deepen my knowledge in physics, I enrolled at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU), for a Master's degree specializing in solid state physics. At MSU, I lived independently and took several honors courses in physics. I found theoretical solid state physics and experimental condensed matter physics to be the most exciting, as they continually piqued my interest. The theory inspired me to study this subject in more depth and familiarized me with its modern concepts....... middle of paper ...... years old. I would like to continue my research in condensed matter physics in the United States, as it would be a wonderful opportunity to receive viable training under the guidance of eminent scientists and experts, with access to the best equipment and facilities. I have fully prepared myself to continue working and meeting all the challenges that research in experimental sciences can bring and I am confident that my research interests and skills will allow me to successfully complete a doctorate. degree of great experimental physicist. I believe that communication with expert faculty in your program, along with my abilities, hard work, and enthusiasm will enable me to achieve my goals and pursue our broader understanding of the world around us. I am aware that competitive research requires complete dedication and commitment. and outstanding performance and I am confident that I will exceed all expectations.
