Chemical Engineering学习计划 En
Electrochemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Transport Phenomena and Thermodynamics
Having obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Chemical Engineering at the ABC Institute of Technology and DEF University, respectively, and having spent the past fifteen years serving as assistant researcher at one of the highest ranked research institutes in my country, XXX Institute of Science & Technology, my primary academic interest now is to attend your esteemed doctoral program in chemical engineering. My areas of concentration will be electrochemistry, polymer chemistry, transport phenomena and thermodynamics.
My professional and academic goals are interrelated. Having been awarded the prestigious government scholarship given by the Ministry of National Defense, I have a strong sense of responsibility to augment my present academic and research capabilities so as to best contribute to my country. After I earn my Ph.D., I want to return to Taiwan to assume university professorship while at the same time serving as research fellow at the XXX Institute of Science & Technology. This institution leads the way in research breakthroughs in each of my areas of concentration. I would regard this a realization of decade long work effort and dream. I am convinced that my knowledge will equip me for a leadership role in national defense research projects, especially in surface finishing and anti-corrosion. It is regarded as the next step forward in Taiwan's attempts to acquire an efficient and modern military. It utilizes superior technology to fight early corrosion of weapons under extreme fighting conditions.
I believe my qualifications for a Ph.D. program are excellent in both academic and professional terms. Upon completing my undergraduate degree in the first place of my graduating class, I began to host a wide variety of research oriented responsibilities as an assistant researcher and technologist at Taiwan's highest ranked institution, the XXX Institute of Science and Technology. My role is multi-faceted as I am in charge of R&D for printed circuit boards, surface finishing, dip brazing and waste treatment. My efforts came into full fruition when I was awarded a prestigious scholarship by the Ministry of National Defense to pursue my doctorate in chemical engineering.
My academic work has illustrated a strong penchant for advanced research methods and objectives. Because of my superior performance at the XXX Institute of Science & Technology, in 1985 I was selected to attend the Graduate Institute of Chemical Engineering at DEF University, where I focused my study on the field of phase transfer catalyst. On the processing of completing my master's degree, I worked on my master's thesis entitled "Kinetic Study of Stilbene Synthesis with Benzyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide as Phase Transfer Catalyst ". (for details please refer to Atachment I) My intended results were successfully carried out. My methods were very attractive industrially as cis-stilbene is much more expensive than its trans-isomer. The paper was very well received in the defense establishment. Upon resuming my research post at XXX, I have also been able to publish another paper " Comparison of Wear Characteristics between Ni-AI2o3 Composites and Ni Deposit " at the Specialized Processes and Techniques Session of the AESF SUR/FIN 1989 Technical Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.. (for details please refer to Attachement II) Needless to say, I undertook very complex research objectives in these projects, and I am very proud of the positive reception in science journals and academia.
The experience of working as an assistant researcher for such a outstanding institution has been very rewarding and challenging. I am well versed in all facets of research experience. I can conduct an independent project from beginning to end, from posing and defining a question to accessing the conclusion via creative experiment designs and methods. From learning under the tutelage of the nations best professors, I have gained a strong foundation in practical research experience.
In conclusion of my personal statement, I would like to state that I have in the last decade familiarized myself very thoroughly in the field of Chemical Engineering. A Ph.D. is a culmination of all the hard work I have instilled in my academic and research performance. I believe my excellent academic and professional background speak for themselves, and is underlined by the military's willingness to grant me the financial support I need to complete my doctoral degree. I believe that the fundamental principles I have learned while immersing myself in the fields of electrochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena -- will help me tremendously in solving problems in these areas. In conclusion, I believe that my strong background in performing research and my solid academic grounding qualify me an excellent candidate for the doctorate program. The knowledge I will receive in the Ph.D. program will be indispensable for my service to my country. I sincerely look forward to the challenge of studying in your excellent university. It is a challenge that I have spent the last decade preparing myself for.
