Dear Professor,
I am writing to you to express my interest in continuing my academic study through the doctoral programme in machine learning at your University. I am a postgraduate from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, India, and currently working as Assistant Professor at MPCOE College, India. I came across this opportunity on your university website and I am very keen to join the doctoral programme within your department because I believe that its rich history of academic research is a perfect match for my academic aptitude. I have always been interested in machine learning and after meeting with Dr. [name removed by moderator] (Aarhus University, Denmark), I really get influenced by his work, especially in time-series forecasting. He inspired me to take the leap and submit this application, when I show my eagerness to hone my knowledge and get good exposure to the field. I hope you will consider my profile to have a passionate, dedicated and hardworking person in your team along with strong communication skills and descent knowledge in this field.
As you can see from my enclosed CV, I have always performed better at my academic and I have always been a sincere student, throughout my academic history, especially in my masters, I have developed a strong interest in the niche field of machine learning. I studied Computer Vision at VNIT where I learned different algorithms of machine learning and for the mini project, I built an artificial neural network in MATLAB to predict the vacant frequency band in the cognitive radio. The success of this work pushed me gain more knowledge about machine learning technologies like Python, R programming along with their ML libraries used for developing models and thus helped me acquiring new skills. While working on the implementation of digital receiver system on FPGA during my internship at a research lab ‘SAMEER, Mumbai’, I met with renowned scientists, learnt how the research works and it really motivate me do doctoral study. Although the design of project was based on the signal processing domain, I tried with little success to utilized machine learning concepts to have improved and efficient design. On the other hand, work on FPGA enables me to learn about how machine learning algorithms are implemented in it to have fast computing, more logic and memory resources to acquire efficient performance. I am sure that this knowledge will definitely help me in implementing my work in machine learning on hardware system in near future. I have always been interested in programming since my undergraduate days and having hands-on different technologies really helped accomplished success in all the projects that I have worked on. My work on a data visualization project on a new R library ‘ImputeTest’ using Shiny web framework has enabled anyone who has little knowledge of programming to evaluate the performance of various models just by using datasets and graphical buttons. This skill could help me to show my results and performance with ease to my thesis evaluators. My recent publication has helped me to develope new research specific skills like analyzing information sources, focusing on key issues, organizing the ideas and writing effective paper. I hope that such skills make me good fit for this position. I believe that there is scope to continue the research into machine learning due to the ever-changing nature of the profession and I am keen to combine my practical and theoretical knowledge with my research. I believe this is of value to not just myself and my peers but also my wider profession, since it could help others to understand the importance of machine learning. I cannot imagine a better place to study than university. I have always been inspired by the achievements of this academic institution and I wish to work alongside your teaching staff to research on machine learning.
With my theoretical knowledge, I am confident that I can complete my chosen research project to a high standard. Following on from the completion of my doctorate, I plan to use my knowledge to help educate fellow professionals, and thus improve awareness and understanding of our sector. I hope that this letter has given you some insight into my dedication to my learning and that you will consider my application. I would like to draw your attention back to my CV which is enclosed with this letter, which will demonstrate my professional and academic history.
I look forward to speaking with you soon and becoming a part of your team.
Yours sincerely,
