general introduction
i am a third year master major in automation at shanghai jiao tong university p. r. china. with tremendous interest in industrial engineering i am writing to apply for acceptance into your . graduate program.
education background
in1995 i entered the nanjing university of science & technology (nust) -- widely considered one of the china’s best engineering schools. during the following undergraduate study my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. i was granted first class prize every semesterin1999 i got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.
at the period of my graduate study my overall gpa(/) ranked top5% in the department. in the second semester i became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. this year i won the acer scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. presently i am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of excellent graduation thesis.
research experience and academic activity
when a sophomore i joined the association of ai enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. with the tool of opengl and matlab i designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. it is now widely used by different research groups in nust. i assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for nanjing sewage treatment plant. this was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.
in retrospect i find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience which has prepared me for the . program. my future research interests include: network scheduling problem heuristic algorithm research (especially in ga and neural network) supply chain network research hybrid system performance analysis with petri nets and data mining.
