Statement of Purpose

Rahul G. Waghmare

I am applying for admission to the Ph.D. program in Underwater signal processing


techniques because I want a career in the research field of Indian Navy. In particular, I
am interested in various aspects of underwater signal processing like underwater Com-
munication, surveillance system, and target detection and classification system. I would
like to learn various techniques of information extraction from the underwater acoustic
signals. In order to gain an appreciation of these and related issues, it is essential for
me to have a strong grounding in statistical signal processing, matrix algebra, wavelet
processing.
I believe that the Ph.D. program in Underwater signal processing techniques would
be invaluable in helping me achieve these objectives. It would enable me to channel
my quantitative and conceptual skills in analyzing signal issues and would open up new
avenues in research.
I believe that my background in engineering and technology has prepared me for such
a career. I have found research fascinating since my engineering days, where I received
the highest marks in the Department for my final-year undergraduate dissertation; and
was judged to have presented the paper at a IEEE conference held at Maldives. My four
years of engineering education and two years of post graduation have provided me with a
strong grounding in Digital signal processing, statistical signal processing, linear algebra
estimation and detection theory.
I want to do a Ph.D. at the IIT for many reasons. I have heard about IIT Ph.D. pro-
gram in signal processing techniques from my university professor Dr. S. L. Nalbalwar
and am impressed with the emphasis placed on technical and analytical skills, and rig-
orous research methodology. The faculty’s reputation for excellent teaching, challenging
coursework and the excellent facilities are added attractions.
I hope that the admissions committee finds my background and strengths commensu-
rate with the requirements of IIT Ph.D. program in Digital image processing techniques.
