Statement of Purpose for Research Internship
I was about eight years old when I first laid my hands on a
computer and my fascination towards the same only grew from
that day. As I grew up, this fascination grew into passion and so
did computer science into various new domains. Machine Learning
and Artificial Intelligence have immense potential and as we know
are the key to the future ahead. Hence, in order to unearth this
potential, I am looking forward to joining the research internship
program at (name of organisation).
I have always viewed my educational journey as an opportunity to
seek more knowledge and polish my skills. After doing well in my
10th grade, I chose to specialise in computer science starting from
high school. My extraordinary academic record helped me earn
admission to undertake the Computer Science program during my
undergraduate years. In my final year, I chose to specialise in
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. I was able to develop
a strong foundation on this domain by completing courses like X, Y
and Z. I went onto further my grasp in this arena by earning my
Master’s degree in Machine Learning from ABC University. I was
able to comprehend topics like P, Q, R and S in detail and further
my understanding of L, M and N.
As I was exploring the vast arena of Machine Learning, I took up
various projects. These endeavours helped me gain an additional
dimension to my learning process.
I designed and developed various machine learning algorithms
and applications over the past four years to practise my skills and
put my knowledge to use. To supplement these personal projects, I
was active in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell, while I was
pursuing my master’s, in the role of a Joint Secretary. Having
started as a junior analyst, I went on from coding for large scale
projects to handling teams of students who were coding,
designing as well as presenting projects at international forums. I
believe that this involvement has enabled me to grow as a leader
and a team player.
My previous education and research experience, however, I believe
is a stepping stone to my career as a machine learning expert.
This research internship is renowned among budding
professionals in this sector. I am certain that the close mentorship
offered by the well certified research guides would help me
unleash my problem solving skills and explore the possibilities of
this emerging technology. I am particularly excited to work with Ms
Jean Maria Thomas who is an expert in (name of subject) and has
contributed immensely to our efforts of using this technology in
the healthcare domain. This opportunity also comes with a
remarkable research infrastructure, supportive and intellectual
student population together with a well-venerated community of
alumni. I would be able to grow beyond my technical skills and
develop my communication skills, team working abilities and time
management.
On completing my research internship, I will be equipped to join
research organisations like D, E or F that are relevant to machine
learning. I want to apply my skills and expertise to solve problems
of the modern world. I will be able to collaborate better with the
experts and utilise my brilliant network I built at (name of
organisation) to stand united and work towards finding
sustainable solutions to world problems. In the long term, I intend
to join global teams and zoom out to create greater impact using
my knowledge and skills in machine learning technologies.
Hence, I am eager to contribute to the research efforts of (name of
organisation) and build my skill set in line with the standards of
the international research communities.
