STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
“Stay hungry, stay foolish” Steve Jobs [Commencement Address, Stanford University, 2005]

I first felt the thrill of pursuing a dedicated scientific research, when I read about Prof. Andrew Wiles, (who spent seven years in isolation, solving the toughest riddle of mathematics) in the popular book - ``The Fermat's Last Theorem'' by Simon Singh, in my sophomore undergraduate year. Since then, the passion to excel and to innovate, has always hosted a hungry and foolish soul in me. My primary research interests are in the fields of CAD for VLSI, Computer Architecture and Formal Verification. My Academic and Research Background Smart problem-solving has always been a source of great fun to me. Mathematics was my favorite subject in school. As a token of appreciation for my hobby activities in mathematics, I was awarded C. V. Raman scholarship during my highschool days at Ramkrishna Mission Vidyalaya, Narendrapur. My confidence was further boosted when I stood 4th in the Regional Mathematical Olympiad in 2001 and was selected to participate in Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO). It was a great opportunity to study at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, one of the premier engineering institutes in India, in my desired discipline of Computer Science & Engineering. Ever since I joined the department, I have been focused on my academics which culminated in my high CGPA (9.28/10.00), and a rank of First in the department (out of 23 students) and Fifth in the institute (out of approximate 200 students). My first brush with VLSI was in the summer (May-June) of 2004, when I was selected for a month-long training at the Advanced VLSI Design Laboratory, IIT Kharagpur. I came to know about the challenges of design and verification of complex digital as well as analog VLSI circuits and got exposed to the various CAD tools. In the

    The time I received my diploma, I scheduled a tour to Nanjing University, known as the top university for Astronomy in China, to prepare future study about astrophysics. The lectures impressed me an overall prospective about Astrophysics and their enthusiasm strengthened my focus on this research area. Then I participated in a workshop hosted by National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC). NAOC complemented my knowledge of Technologies and Methods in Radio Astronomy which I supposed to be necessary professional skills. With the introduction of fundamental research pattern, Data Analysis and Simulation, I proposed a seminar in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) where a series of presentations prepared me an overview of research frontier. All these experience made up a general sketch of Astrophysics research conducted by Simulation and Data Analysis. And the study seems far from fanciful to imagine impresses me deeply the greatness of humanity. Though we are physically limited, our curiosity & pursuit is no boundaries. So I would be honored to be a part. Looking back, my devotion to Astrophysics is understandable. Astronomy has long been my hobby. I strived to the best high school in the locality to fulfill my eager for a promised reward of an optical telescope. The desire to explore the mysterious universe drove me even more than that point. Participant of Astronomical Association of Province acquaint me with abundant common sense and imagination of the Universe. Besides, I set up an Astronomy Union in school and my two-year terms were awarded Outstanding Organization Head by mayor. Gradually, amateur interest is beyond satisfactory. A further understanding of the nature made me choose Physics as major. 3yrs’ college education witnesses my determination blossoming. Collaboration with partners on Mathematical Contest on Modeling cultivated my computing skills after building 11 models. With cross-discipline projects experience, I found my…
