12. Statement of Purpose: Research interests, possible project ideas and what you hope to gain from this experience (Please restrict your response to the space given below) Engineering and Physics fascinated me from my school days, and the motivation which I got from my parents and my mentors boosted me up for continuing my studies in engineering. During last 5 semesters, I came across many fortuity and problem statements, while doing courses, projects and internships which fueled me to continue my work in electrical engineering. Last semester came out to be an important period where I developed my primary interest in Communication engineering and its application in dealing with signals and information. I was fascinated and encouraged to join a research project under my professor. The project is on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy for gas detection. My work in the project deals with processing and filtering of signals coming from photo detectors, on a DSP processor for real time processing. I have a keen interest in Signal and Image Processing and I am learning it during this project. I am also studying the property of 1f and 2f signal generated during Wavelength-Modulation Spectroscopy of gases like CO2. This technique can be applied for gas detection in the exhaled breath of sick patient of diagnosis of disease or detecting precursors of fire, etc. I also have a good experience of working with processes and embedded systems. I came across the work of some professors at Wisconsin University who are working in these areas and I find their work very close to my interest field. One of the research projects which attract me is of "Mouth Sonar" for measuring the vocal tract shape carried by Prof. Paul H. Milenkovic, which involves some work of image processing. Another interesting work carried by Prof. Susan C. Hagness on biomedical application of EM waves in detection and hyperthermia treatment of cancer, which again involves work of signal and image processing. I am comfortable with working on similar projects. Working in these areas would provide me great opportunities to learn new things and will raise my passion for research. With this background and curiosity, I want to apply for S.N Bose scholar program. I feel that this internship will be a great learning expedition and a chance to shape my future goals. It might also introduce me to some other areas of electrical engineering. I am quite sure that with my hard work and dedication, I will accomplish the task with the standards and quality which this internship demands. So with skills and spirit I possess I want to apply for this internship opportunity at Wisconsin University.
