Essay --

STATEMENT OF PURPOSEAkhil LohchabGrowing up in the late 90s, I witnessed computers revolutionize India we had cellphones and personal computers and the meshing transforming our lives - and like most other kids, I was fascinated by them. It wasnt until I took course on QBasic in 8th grade, however, that I really took a liking to computer programing. The idea of computer languages seemed almost magical to me. Over the years, that proclivity for programming grew into a passion and led me to take more programming electives in higher grades. I also took the initiative to set up a student-run Computer Club in my high school and host our scratch annual Computer Symposium. My upbringing in Delhi also made me aware of the gaping inequalities of wealth distribution in our society and as my interest in Computer Science deepened, it only reinforced my belief that lean-technologies can help governments of developing countries in bringing their policies to the altar of execution more effic iently.It is that passion which has gravid over the years into a single-minded pursuit of Computer Science as a serious academic career, and led me to pursue a B.Tech in Information Technology at Delhi Technological University (DTU formerly Delhi College of Engineering), one of the premier institutions in the country. I aspire to attain a doctorate in the areas of painted Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). I believe Berkeleys MS in Computer Science will help me expand both the breadth and depth of my knowledge in these areas and allow me to identify a specialization for a subsequent doctoral degree. My undergraduate degree at DTU has set the groundwork for me through a well-designed curriculum that has helped me develop... ...Documents particularly interesting. I would also relish the opportunity to contribute to the AI research project on nipper Question Answering Software. Berkeley offers me the unique proposition of not only being able to gain expertise and depth of knowledge in my palm of interest, but the chance to interact with a highly motivated and talented cohort of students that would help me grow as an individual.Pursuant to my doctoral research, I jut out myself as an academic preferably teaching in the field of natural language processing. A MS in Computer Science from Berkeley will garb me with the proficiency and gravitas required to embark on my journey to become a Professor. I believe that my undergraduate research work makes me uniquely hover to pursue a graduate program and I am confident that I can be a valuable addition to the graduate friendship at Berkeley.
