I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.
Education background
In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.
At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.
Research experience and academic activity
When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.
In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.
我三分之一年在自动化硕士专业在上海交通大学，中国。随着工业工程的巨大兴趣，我写申请验收到博士研究生课程。
教育背景
1995，我进入了南京大学的科学与技术(NUST)——被广泛认为是中国最好的工程学校。在接下来的本科学习，我的学术记录整个部门之间的区别。我被授予一等奖每学期，1999，我得到了特权进入研究生课程的入学测试放弃。
在我的研究生学习期间，我的总平均成绩(3.77 / 4)排名前5%的部门。在第二学期，我成了老师的助手给人才和成熟的学生只。今年，我赢得了作为唯一的候选人在我的部门的宏基奖学金，这是杰出学生赋予我的大学的最高荣誉。目前，我正在准备我的毕业论文，并试图为优秀毕业论文荣誉。
经验和学术研究活动
二年级时，我加入了人工智能爱好者协会，并开始缩小我的兴趣我今后的研究。随着OpenGL和Matlab的工具，我设计了运输调度系统仿真程序。它现在被广泛应用于不同的研究小组在南京理工大学。我承担并完成了污水处理项目分析、南京污水处理厂。这是我第一次练习将一个实验室的想法的商业产品。
回想起来，我发现自己站在一个坚实的基础的理论和经验，为我的博士编写的程序。我未来的研究兴趣包括：网络调度问题，启发式算法的研究(特别是在遗传算法和神经网络)，供应链网络的研究，混合动力系统的性能分析与Petri网和数据挖掘。
