Please provide a brief statement outlining your financial needs, skills and strengths for consideration in making financial
awards. Do not include information provided in the Statement of Purpose below. Maximum 1500 Characters
The only reason that I apply for the financial awards is the need. Although my parents may support me for the
first year study, they would have some difficult in providing the extra fee for further study. They are just
ordinary people here in China without a lot of wealth. The total income of my family is about XXXX dollar per
year. So the saving of my family is quite limited.
Besides that, I believe I can prove my value in academic to meet the requirement for financial awards. I received
scholarship or honors for excellent academic performance each year in SJTU and participated various research
programs with valuable roles. This would continue if I work hard in Georgia Tech.
Moreover, I can also provide the undergraduate students TA class with the broad knowledge I learn in SJTU such
as microelectronic circuit, microwave engineering, digital signal process and so on. Although my speaking score
of TOELF is low, I actually can speak English clearly. You can test my speaking English by yourself.
The applicant must clearly indicate the reasons for wishing to study in this program at Georgia Tech as opposed to some
other program or university. The biography should describe the applicant's academic background, training and
experience and should mention honors, memberships, and extracurricular activities. Special areas of research or
interest should be discussed. Please be concise and specific in your response. Your space is limited to 4000 characters.
Georgia Tech is the right place for me, a student major in ECE, to drive deep into the beauty of microelectronic
device and find breakthrough in a totally new dimension.
Understanding mathematics and physic broadly and deeply is crucial in developing new devices. I took many
courses in physics and math in SJTU and got a good understanding of the principle of the world. I can solve
Schrödinger equation under certain various boundary conditions and know about NEGF. I also learn partial
differential equation in my junior year and know d’Alembert’s Method, Green function and numerical methods.
In the graduate level, I want to find an analytic or semi-analytic/semi-numerical method to stimulate the device
properties or to interpret the status of the electrons by electronic/magnetic properties such as spins. Georgia
Tech is the ideal place to enhance my understandings and implement my ideas. There are many prestigious
faculties here such as Prof. Abdallah Ougazzaden, Prof. Ian T Ferguson who can give me a great help in those
theories
Georgia Tech is also a place I can combine the projects I participated in China well with the graduate research.
In the undergraduate level, I mainly take part in three projects The Fabrication of Organic Solar Film and
Mechanism Analysis, The Manufactory and Property Analysis of the Oxide Protection Layer of the Carbon-based
Lubricant, The Fabrication of Manganese Silicide Nanowire and Property Analysis. Two of them are in state key
labs. The lab of many professors such as Professors James D Meindl, David S Citrin here can provide me further
research program in those fields.
During the undergraduate study, I received Scholarship for excellent academic performance, Dean’ list and
People’s Award(which was also for excellent academic performance). I also took part in many extra-course
activities to help others and improve my understanding of the society. I was an volunteer of 2010 Shanghai
EXPO and made the visiting of thousands of tourists more convenient. I also conducted a research on the life of
the farmers who lose their land near urban area. All of these experiences help me know the society better.
In a word, Georgia Tech is an ideal place for me both theoretical study and experiment research.
