Graduate / Statement of Purpose for a PhD in Wind Energy [6]
Hi everybody I am new to this forum and I would like some help in my statement of purpose for a PhD in Wind energy. Thank you all.
Dear Members of the committee,
My academic background and my professional experience aims to a specific path, which is research in the fields of renewable energy. Therefore I submit my application for the position of PhD in Wind Energy, which is held by ( Name of the Institute ). I am confident that I have the technical qualifications to meet the research requirements as I strongly believe that completing this PhD will serve my goal of a career as a research expert at an academic or a research oriented organization.
I have completed a five years Degree of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the (Name of University) and gradated in November of 2005. My undergraduate education has given me a certain set of skills and strong fundamentals in both computers science and electrical engineering as a result to develop a combinational way of thinking and research capabilities.
Being fascinated by the Automatic Control Systems and Electrical Machines, that I was introduced to in my third year at the university, I had the chance to demonstrate my research abilities conducting my degree thesis with title "Improving the performance of automatic control system by using a PID controller". The thesis was a great project due to the fact that I had to study the behavior of a servomechanism and then to design, construct and manufactory a PID controller in order to reduce the error and improve the performance.
As a result of working on my degree thesis, I have not only gained valuable knowledge and confident in my technical skills but also an important experience working in the lab. Also, I had the chance to expand my workbench skills at a professional level as dealing with simulation, testing and repairing control system boards while working for an automatic controls systems company.
Over the pas three years, I have develop a particular interest in the area of Renewable Energy while working in the filed of construction of wastewater treatment plants and co-generation unites. I have gained an important professional experience as an engineer while working for the project of electrical and thermal co-generation plant using biogas and natural gas. Furthermore, I have enriched my skills learning about EU laws and policy in environmental and energy themes. In additions, while working in other projects I have learned how to estimate and calculate the economical part of a project.
Driven by my passion for research and my interest in environmental and the clean energy field, I have pursued a Master degree in Environmental Engineering and graduated on July 2009 from the (Name of the University). During my Master studies not only I have learned about water, waste, soil and air pollution treatment and management, but also learned about conventional, sustainable and renewable energy and technologies.
Focusing my interest in the area of renewable energy, I have challenged myself performing a research in the Master thesis with title "Energy and economical feasibility of storing photovoltaic solar energy by means of accumulators". Combining my previous technical and economical experience the work result pointed me that I can stand up to the expectations by delivering the final project with a hundred percent success.
In the past I had the opportunity to work in a multinational environment and the work result have shown that I can be equally productive and creative working as part of a team or individual on a project as I am able to perform several tasks at once.
Finally, I believe that life is a constant learning process and I am confident that I have the technical skills and the qualifications that meet the requirements for the PhD in Wind Energy. I am certain that my passion, willingness and ambitious will help me to become a successful researcher.
