Statement Of Purpose
I would like to introduce myself
as Paudel Shriram a permanent inhabitant of Rupandehi, Nepal. I have completed
my three year BS and two year MS in Physics from the renowned & oldest university of Nepal (Tribhuvan University)
with specialization on astrophysics . In my career, I never believe that we can
broaden our knowledge only from books. I spend majority of my time in the
library, at the research centre, at the classroom and in the laboratory from
where I grab more knowledge and experience. Academically I was always good,
dedicated, and hard working in my class from my school career to my MS level. I
am an enthusiastic and active learner. My three-year BS and two year MS study
prepared my life quite fruitful and I have developed some theoretical and
practical skills that a physicist would require to perform any related task. My
performance in group work, class discussions, and presentations were always
well appreciated by my colleagues and professors. Right now, I am working as
physics lecturer in Campion Kathmandu college for undergraduate level and I
have been teaching astrophysics to the graduate at one of the reputed
institution of my country as soon as I completed my MS. I am proud to say that
I am among the very curious student. I wish to enter your University for
graduation Program in physics.
Since my childhood, I always
discussed some magical questions about scientific discovery with my science
teacher but they were unable to answer with sufficient explanation about my
queries, which increased my thirst towards science and technology. Primarily I
have always been fascinated and interested in physics rather than other branches
of science and thus developed a goal to be a successful physicist (as
university professor or researcher). I
believe, a meaningful life is all about aiming high and working hard to reach
that high. Finding myself keenly drawn to the challenges of this area, I wanted
to learn all about physics and its mechanism in order to advance my knowledge.
I studied Physics and
Mathematics with other subjects like chemistry and Biology in my undergraduate
career. Our college used to organize science exhibition and seminars of
national and international, which helped me to understand how to use theories,
and principles to attain a definite result, such kind of programs increased my
tremendous interest towards physics. During my bachelor degree, I worked as a part
time science teacher in a public school for two years. That experience gave me
great opportunity to understand and realize the basic concepts of Physics. I
was also increasing my knowledge during teaching in classrooms and assisting
students in lab. Sometimes I feel quite ashamed because of I used to be delayed of giving more detailed
explanations to my students by the
availability of very limited resources in a developing country like Nepal. Same
situation was there in my University where I was studying bachelor & master,
such as congested studying rooms, inadequate lab equipments, limited library
resources etc. Those deficiencies did not upset but heightened my desire
towards my subject.
In my Master’s degree, I have studied
Astrophysics as major subject including other subjects like mathematical
physics, quantum mechanics, classical & Statistical mechanics, digital electronics,
and electrodynamics. It is bitter truth that in 21th century many of our
seniors got incredible success on other branch of science but did not directly
connected to astrophysics, this is the reason why I am interested towards
astrophysics. I am primarily interested in star formation in ISM, all sky
survey, formation and evolution of galaxies, dark energy and have some interest
in gravitational lancing. Firstly, I started my master’s dissertation on “Study of Three Dimensional Variation of
Planet Jupiter’s Outer Atmosphere”. In order to support my research work, I
had got some economical support as scholarship from the Ministry of Science
& Technology, Nepal. It is sad to say that we have only one Observatory
with 14’’ Schmidt Casgerrian Telescope. During this period, I have learnt how
to handle telescope as well as to capture objects in the sky. Unfortunately I could
not continue my research further due to internal quarrelsome of Ministry of
science & technology with Central department of Physics. After then I have
completed my master dissertation on ISM
(A new Comet-like isolated far infrared
Nebula at +86° galactic latitude) in Feb,2014. My research work was based
to estimate the dust color temperature,
dust mass as well as to calculate Jean’s mass in order to examine there is
possibility of star forming region or not. I studied the flux density variation
(along major & minor axis) as well as angle of inclination within the
structure. During my research work, I searched for an isolated nebular
structure for different wavelength (12μm, 25μm, 60μm & 100μm) in IRAS band.
I carried out a systematic search of IRAS maps available in the sky view
Virtual Observatory. While scanning the
sky covering range of galactic longitude from 0° to 360°(more than 11000 JPE
& FITS images) I found some amazing isolated structures surrounding
planetary nebula, pulsars, white dwarf & different galaxies. Finally With
the help & Suggestion of my supervisor Prof.Dr. Aryal B.(HOD of central
Department of physics Tribhuvan University, Nepal), the structure located at
latitude of +250° and longitude of +86° on southern Hemisphere of our galaxy
was selected for my research. During the period of my MS program, I was lucky
to participate as poster and oral presentator at
international conference on Astrophysics & cosmology (19-21 march, 2012). At
that Seminar I got a chance to attain on oral presentation of various
astronomers from different developed countries. I was fascinated by the speech
based on topic “Dark energy” demonstrated by Prof. Dr Chakraworthy which is one
of the best seminar attended by me. In addition, I got chance to Participate at
9th national school on space science ( Mar28- April03) &
workshop on application of space science (july8-11,2011) as well as Exhibitor at first national science
exhibition (Feb 2010). Furthermore, it is my fortune to attain at Seminars of
Summer school program and Physics Conferences organized by Central Department
of Physics (Tribhuvan University, Nepal) from where I grab some more knowledge
about the mechanism of star formation and other natural phenomenon where modern
science is based. I am seeking an opportunity to grow up my waves of mind.
In spite of several limitations,
I tried to use available resources to understand. Although, I have basic ideas
of most of the branches of physics, I am like as innocent infant on the ocean
of Physics. So that I wish to be a mature and grow up my knowledge. I believe
that without completion doctoral degree and if I have no an adequate teaching
and learning experience, my knowledge in physics would remain quite incomplete. Therefore,
I look forward to joining world-class universities which fits me the best for
graduation. When I surf the website of yours University, I was fascinated
because of high technological educational environment, well occupied Physics
laboratory & advanced research activities done there by senior researchers.
I also study your Cv deeply and thus I wish to research under your supervision
I don’t know whether I am capable or not. Thus, I would like to apply for the
Department of Physics at your University.
Finally, I wish to promise you
that I have provided all the genuine documents. I humbly request the respective
admission team Service to grant me approval for my application for admission. I
am a genuine student who is very keen in Pursuing degree from your university
and I am confident that I will receive the
scientific skills and intellectual disciplines from your esteemed University
that will help me to continue in the field of Physics. I further
assure you that I will tolerate all the conditions imposed on and defined on my
Offer and visa’s guidelines.
Sincerely yours
