Study Plan
I would like to present my gratitude for being provided an opportunity to describe my plan for this
semester and future objectives. Since the invention of computers, incessant efforts have been made to
make computers learn and acquire intelligence. This has fascinated me to take the very field as my
career. Starting from my childhood days, being a school student, I have had a strong aptitude for science
subjects with a constant urge to experiment and try out new things.
For my undergraduate studies, I chose to pursue my field of interest and secured admission in the
Computer Science department of Sichuan University (SCU). I am happy to state that I obtained very high
results in my undergraduate studies, with being in top 5 students in the batch. Like a duck in the water, I
was quickly absorbing and assimilating information and knowledge in subjects like Artificial Intelligence,
Programming Languages, Software Engineering, Data Structures & Algorithm, Digital Logic Design,
Network Security, and Computer Graphics. The grand absorption of knowledge of aforementioned fields
provided me with a strong footing in the theoretical concepts.
Along with academics, I am glad to state my affiliation with and activeness in social work which intended
for the prosperity of human lives. I happen to have participated in a community-based organization
which distributes and manage water supply to a rural area in my country. My participation in events
organized by the national science foundation helped me recognize my hosting talents as well as
programming skills, since they were events that focused on IT skills of participants.
My academic experience in research and experimentation includes the creation of a semi-automatic
pump control system having other technologies like GSM, in which I led my team members, and we
deployed a device which can control heavy duty water pumps remotely. Arduino microcontroller to
record and process the states of the motor, power consumption and water levels and send the output
back to the control personnel. The project aimed to eradicate inefficient use of resources resulting in the
damage of millions of rupees. The project got recognition in the entire community for its usefulness. I
also worked on the creation of a QR code-based application for issuing smart curfew passes. The
focused idea was to design a robust system to mitigate the misuse of curfew passes with the help of
various authentication methods. The main focus of the project was to quickly implement a robust
system island wide which has a fast-learning curve and put to use within a week of work.
The aforementioned projects gave me an insight into different fields of Computer Engineering and
through that, I was convinced about choosing the ultimate field of my interest: Computer Technology, to
be researched and studied by me in depth. I was also enlightened about different aspects of teamworking and team-leading skills which are going to help me in the best way in my graduate studies.
My interest grew stronger for making contributions to Computer science which itself is a cognitive task.
Hence, I want to enable myself to create such systems, with the deployment of AI strategies and
computer vision, which could leave human intellect far behind. In addition to my personal interest, the
reason for pursuing that particular field is my entitlement towards my responsibilities as a Sri Lankan,
which oblige me to pay back my two cents in form of research and creation of opportunities for younger
people who could benefit from my learnings, especially those polished and obtained from my graduate
studies in China. Having gone through all my experience and university education I have come to decide
of pursuing my master’s degree in the department of “Computer Science and Technology.” Being a techsavvy individual, I constantly keep myself abreast with the latest technology up-gradation and research
topics that not only broaden my horizons but expose me to the latest global strides in the area of
technology. It would be an eye-opener for me as to go in-depth to understand the subjects like Parallel
and Distributed Computing, Optimization Theory, Edge and Cloud Computing and its values for the wellbeing of society.
I would like to end by saying that I am fully aware that a career in research and academics requires a
high level of intelligence, unwavering dedication, and a lot of sacrifice. I am confident that I would meet
all the above demands and would prove my mettle in being the best researcher and inventor in the field
of Computer Technology.
