Statement of Purpose,by Xin Liang liangxinpku@gmail.com Statement of Purpose Motivation of Study I was asked the same question frequently:why you,a little girl,choose to study Electrical Engineering that seems to be a male work.But I never doubt about my choice because I know it suits me and is my affection. I was deeply affected by my grandfather,who is the president of an Electrical Engineering College in my hometown,Zhengzhou.He graduated from a famous university and was the classmate of former Chairman of China,Jiang Zemin.As one of the earliest Electrical Engineers in China,he made great contribution to Chinese industry.Inheriting from my grandfather,I played with watch,radio,electric model and computer that ignited my interests since I was a little girl. My interests truly blossomed after I entered University.The outstanding faculty and interdisciplinary approach to Electrical Engineering in Peking University inspired me to explore deeply and broadly in this field.On the other hand,IT industry grows at a rate of 20%~30%every year in China,which provides a great deal of researching and developing opportunities.I think probably I meet the best chance in history.Therefore,I am motivated to continue graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in this filed. Academic Background Research Interests I have liked science and technology since I was young.Because of affection for physics and math in high school,I joined the Physics Olympiad 2002,and won the first prize in my province.Although most students considered it very difficult,I felt excited when I faced those challenging problems. I established a solid background on electrical engineering during my undergraduate study in Peking University.The breadth of syllabi content and the depth of curriculum gave me both strong conceptual understanding and precise comprehension to the core areas of Electrical Engineering.In addition,lots of experiments and projects in groups made my knowledge more practical.Because all my endeavours in four years,I graduated with major GPA 3.84/4.0 and ignited an interest in Signal Processing and Communication System, Because of my interest,I chose Satellite and Wireless Communication Lab of Peking University to start my graduate study,where I have showed fast learning ability and researching potential since the beginning.I not only got grade A in all professional courses, but also did some research work in Satellite and Wireless Communication Lab. Research Work Experience As a research assistant in Lab,I developed a digital equalizer for wideband satellite communication only within half a year,which is used in Chinese space project.I built aStatement of Purpose, by Xin Liang liangxinpku@gmail.com 1 Statement of Purpose Motivation of Study I was asked the same question frequently: why you, a little girl, choose to study Electrical Engineering that seems to be a male work.
