Letter of Motivation

Dear Sir/madam,

With this letter, I would hereby to apply for Master program in physics offer by the Euro-Asian Master in
Medical Technology and Health Care Business. through the channel of Erasmus Mundus scholarship. I am
Muhammad Ahmad and, recently I have completed my Bachelor degree in Physics from Government
College University Lahore. I belong to Pakistan, which is the third world country. I belong to a middle class
family; we are seven siblings. My mother is a single mother, and despite of the finical crisis we are
continuing our studies. All my siblings are studying in the public sector universities of Pakistan. Being the
elder brother along with my studies, I am also finically supporting to my family. But I did not compromise
on my studies and will not. Because I have the thirst of knowledge and crazy to know about the science.

During my graduation thesis, I have worked on the topic “Attosecond Pulses and Molecular interaction”.
in my thesis I have studied different method of production of Attosecond pulses like “Raman cascade
scattering” and “High order harmonic generation”, and then studied their classical view, semi classical
view and quantum view. After this, I have studied the basic structure of the different biomolecules like type
of bonds nature of the bonds and the vibrational frequency of the bond in the biomolecules. The main
purpose to study the structure of the biomolecules to know about the vibrational frequency of the bonds.
By knowing this we can generate the pulses of suitable frequency to destroy the damage cells inside the
body like cancer cells. The basic constitutional atoms of the biomolecules are Carbon, Hydrogen and
Oxygen, Nitrogen. So, the bonds between these atoms is almost same with slight change in the bond
vibration. After studying this, I have observed that mostly the vibration of bonds is at Attosecond scale, and
high energy pulses like femtosecond and Attosecond pulses are best suitable to destroy the damaged
biomolecules.
After this I specially pay heed on the cancer treatment using Attosecond pulses and nanoparticles. In this
method firstly we find the specific area where the cancer cells are present, then we inject the nanoparticles
in the specific area. These nanoparticles will make bond with the damage cells, and their vibration of the
bonds will be at Attosecond scale. After this we will throw the Attosecond pulses on the specific are and it
will resonate with the binds in the biomolecules and then destroy them. This method will be more efficient
than the traditional method to cure the cancer. Because this method will not affect or damage the normal
cells around the cancer cells.
After this, I studied the structure of the materials. Previously we are using X-ray diffraction to study the
structure of the materials. The penetrating power of the X-ray is about 6-9 micrometer, and then we use
approximations to know about the structure of the material. After this, I studied the Attosecond emission
spectroscopy and attosecond absorption spectroscopy to know about the structure of the molecules and
materials. This is all about my previous work.
Now I want to use all my knowledge to put it into practical work for the betterment of the humanity. My
main field is, “the production of Attosecond pulses” we can use the mixture of different light weight gases
to compress the pulses. This method is known as “compressing the input pulse method”. In this method we
will pass the femtosecond pulses from the mixture of light weight gases and can compress the pulses without
changing the phase of the input pulses. And I want to find such kind of mixture of gases practically.
According to my observation, that gases should will have simple bond structure with light weight and
should be non-reactive. After this I want to use the Attosecond pulses to study the structure of the materials.
If we will use high energy pulses than the X-rays, we will be more certain about the structure of the material.
Because high energy pulses have more penetrating power than the X-rays and after diffracting from the
atoms of the molecules it will shows the sharp interference, and we will more certain about the structure of
the material.
I want to predict the virus molecules using the spectroscopic terms of their constitutional atoms like corvid
molecule. This is an important step as a prerequisite to tackle with the effects of the virus molecules. By
using Attosecond pulses we can find the movement of the electrons in the biomolecules in this way can
predict any kind of abnormality in the biomolecules.
I want to design such kind of optical tweezer which can help to remove the clots from the veins without
injecting any tools inside the body or without and cut on the body. These optical tweezers also help to move
the injected biomaterials inside the body to place the biomaterial in the specific body organs. For example,
it will use to place stunt in the heart without the open heart surgery, I will also helpful to place the misplace
bone joints, I will also helpful for the stomach surgeries.

I want to implement the knowledge of physics for the betterment of the humanity and society, that’s why I
have done my thesis on the topic of “Attosecond Pulses and Molecular interaction”. The reason for choosing
this specific Master Program comes from the fact that in the near future I would like to get to know more
things about the atomic structures and production of the high energy laser pulses. I already got some ideas
in my head, but unfortunately until now I did not have the enough knowledge and the right tools for putting
them in practice and that is why I know that the second semester at the Hamburg university would be an
excellent starting point for me.
In the future I want to work to discover the new method with which we can generate the Attosecond laser
rather than Attosecond pulses. If we will successful to do this, it will be a revolution in the field of the
Radiation physics. The recent work on which Nobel prize is awarded, I want to continue that work, because
my previous work is exactly on the same line. So, the Porto university can provide me a great opportunity
to transform my dream into the reality. Because they are working on the Attosecond and Femtosecond
physics. that’s why I choose this university for my third semester.
Also if I will get selected for this program I will have the opportunity to learn from the best researchers of
my field. And the fact that, I will study in an international environment will give me the privilege to create
new relationships with people from different cultures. I am also aware of the kind of dedication and
perseverance I will need to have for achieving the best results in the field and I believe my background will
qualify me for such a Master Program. After completion my degree from well reputed institute, I will work
for my country to transform the technology on latest scale. As my country is third world country and facing
technological challenges. So, my work will also help motivate the other students in my country. In this way
at least I can contribute from my side in the progress of the country.
Besides my strong academic background, I have also strong social background as well. I have good
communications skills and management abilities. During my four years at university, I have a lot of
experience to work in different student’s societies. I have one-year experience to work as stage secretary
john physics society, one-year experience to work as finance secretary at john physics society, recently I
was working as sports head of the Physics department at Government College university Lahore. I also
managed and attend the different seminars on physics, Nano photonics, atomic physics and nuclear physics.
All these my achievements and goals shows my determination towards science and technology, I have
excellent ideas, on which I can only work under the supervision of the senior scientists and my field
professionals. I think this scholarship will be the best opportunity for this research and project. And I hope
I will get selected and will can work for the betterment of society and humanity, thanking in advance.
