My goal is to learn as much as I can about interacting and working with others in a learning environment so that I can employ the interpersonal skills I gain in the workforce upon graduation. After all, one can have all the technical ability in the world and find themselves lacking if they cannot then leverage and share their understanding with others. I attend college to prove to future employers I am serious about my field of study and dedicated to doing excellent work. A bachelor’s degree would prove not only that I know my field thoroughly, but also that I am willing to put in the work to improve my abilities constantly. Not to mention, being able to attend any kind of training in computer science is more than enough motivation for me to enter college. …show more content…

It began as a simple curiosity about how computers operated, and unfolded into a continuing desire to learn about every aspect of computing technology. I continue to grow this desire through my ongoing work in the Information Technology industry, which has presented me with a vast number of educational opportunities well suited to this learning desire. A vast thirst for knowledge is the perfect complement to an ever-evolving field of study. Once I graduate, I hope to bring my skills into all aspects of the technology world, and to leave a lasting mark on as many of its branches as possible. Computer science is such a broad community that the options only continue to grow daily. I look forward to contributing to anything from creating video games with game designers across the globe, to helping keep data secure in information security. With a solid foundational education behind me and a continuing drive to learn, anything will be

My primary research interests lie in the field of machine learning and its applications to health and biology. For this reason, I am particularly drawn to the area of computational biology. My fascination with machine learning began the first time I heard of artificial neural networks. The notion of biologically-inspired computer constructs was something that immediately struck a chord with me. As my understanding of the greater subject of machine learning increased, I began to learn not only about how biology had inspired machine learning, as was the case with artificial neural networks, but also about how machine learning has been inspiring new ways of approaching biological problems.

My diverse life experiences have helped me realize that I possess the determination, resilience, mental strength and compassion to succeed as a valuable asset to a medical team. As an enthusiastic 10 year old, I started working as a scout and came in contact with likeminded young children from different regions of India- building camps, hiking, sharing knowledge, learning first aid principles and simulating them in virtual emergency situations. This was my first experience as a “health care provider” which was a stepping stone for my journey towards medicine. During those camps, I started imagining how gratifying it would be to treat real patients. Being among the top 0.1% students of the country in biology in 12th standard further strengthened
