I waited patiently for my father to enter the passwords to access his computer. He was unaware that they were ready to be recorded by a hidden camera I placed in his office. It wasnt until this moment in 2003, when I “hacked in” to my dads computer that I realized just how much I loved playing video games. This was the only way could I play computer games freely and I did it. That instant in my childhood is only a snippet of my consistently growing interest in everything electronic. My passion for electronics has fueled my academic career and I now feel fully prepared to pursue a masters program in electrical engineering, more specifically geared towards multimedia.With both my parents working at teachers, I had the opportunity to pursue an education and had access to a television, computer and camera at an early age. I was always fascinated by the beautiful scenery and dazzling special effects presented by those media. Upon entering junior high school, I found that I could do so much more than just play video games to experience the amazing image effects. I began to teach myself how to use Adobe Photoshop. My most memorable and proudest achievement at the time, was when I carefully post-processed over fifty graduation photos via Photoshop, receiving many compliments from classmates and teachers. My hobby flourished through high school and as did my efforts to master Adobe After Effects. I did not have a clear idea of a future career when I entered Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). I only knew that BUPT was built as part of a “211” National Project to emphasize a great academic strength in telecommunication. My childhood experiences created the foundation of my research interest while my undergraduate education provided me most the tools and capabilities to chase my dream.I chose to specialize in multimedia during my junior year at BUPT, which was a subdivision of my undergraduate program. My interest accumulated through my coursework. While taking an Interactive Media Design and Production class, I was tasked to design a Flash program introducing Chinese culture to my classmates. To do this I designed a Flash animation incorporating Chinese cuisine and a user-friendly cooking game. Experiencing the collection, selection, process and programming of the raw materials like images and sound, I was further fascinated by multimedia. When my courses became more advanced, I enjoyed studying 3D Graphics Programming Tools. From this course I not only learned computer graphics and programming skills, but how to apply them when designing a 3D rhinoceros beetle. I was so absorbed by my work that I spent countless hours of free time and missed a handful of meals while programming and refining the details of the bug. I had such a great time designing the beetle that I would barely notice time passing when working on it. Now, I am enthusiastically studying Multimedia Systems and Image and Video Processing which deepened my interest in the field. These two courses not only taught me more about multimedia but also strengthened my capabilities of processing it, such as Up-sampling, Edge Detection and Block Matching Algorithm. Overall, these courses have been invaluable, as they have equipped me with theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Although my coursework seemed to provide me with a “toolbox”, I was eager to acquire a higher level of practical skills derived from completing large projects. I decided to participate in the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) in 2012 and 2013, to apply my knowledge to solve realistic problems. During the 2013 MCM, I succeeded in designing the mathematical models necessary to analyze the water shortage problem in China, and provided a reasonable strategy to solve the problem. In charged of modeling and the Matlab programming, I did both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the water storage, reuse, transfer and desalinization, to better understand the water crisis. My analysis results and the comparison of Chinas geographical differences were recognized by the Contest as I was designated as Meritorious Winner equivalent to ranking in top 15% of the competition. This experience propelled me to seek even larger projects to which I could make contributions. During the summer of 2013, I had the opportunity to intern at Tsinghua University. The project involved the creation of a medical multimedia-terminal used to evaluate the health status of users. It was my first time interning in a group of over thirty people involved in a single project. I immediately felt the challenge laid out in front of me. My job was to design a program to achieve the methods of evaluation for the terminal. Similar to mathematical modeling, this task required much effort in acquiring new knowledge and techniques. One important mission was to learn the process of a Health Risk Appraisal (HRA), including diversified medical models of different diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Another was to master advanced Java programming so that I could design a Web Service to be built on cloud platforms. It took me three months to complete the program, but I felt so satisfied with my interdisciplinary work and being able to contribute to solving another real-world problem. During those months I strengthened my analytical abilities, delved deeper into the world of engineering and added more practical skills to my ”toolbox”. My experiences not only enhanced my practical capabilities, but also confirmed my passion for electrical engineering. I have a strong willingness to turn what I have learned into a product or solution that can be beneficial to society. Multimedia technology has been applied to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), simulations, medicine, bioengineering and many other fields. I believe that multimedia tech is becoming increasingly instrumental and important to many scientific fields presently lacking the capabilities of profiting from multimedia. My desire and skills are driving forces in my pursuit of a graduate degree. The accumulation of knowledge I have made through both my education and work experiences has been exponential. My commitment to my undergraduate program and work over the last th
