Respected Sir
I am a 4th year (7th semester) Bachelor of Engineering student of University
Institute of Engineering & Technology, PANJAB UNIVERSITY, CHANDIGARH (
www.puchd.ac.in) India, which is renowned worldwide for its exceptional
achievements in the field of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
I am extremely interested in pursuing a project/internship for the One
Laptop Per Child Program (OLPC) at MIT during winter this year. I recently
read about your visit to Khairat, India and the article titled the Khairat
Chronicle and was amazed by the dedication of the kids to learn through the
XOs. I am very keen to do a project on peripherals for XO.
****
Nowadays, I am working on a project titled *Modeling and simulation of
Nanoscale MOSFETs*, funded by Ministry of Communication & Information
Technology, Governement of India. This summer, I designed a *LASER pointer
based serially interfaced mouse called LOUSE at Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT)*, Delhi. I also designed a *Smart Sensor technology* using
Spread spectrum technique involving Multi- parameter signal sensor design
for telemedicine purposes, part of an Indo-French Project on Wireless
Sensors using SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) devices and RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification Device) at IIT, Delhi only. Last summer, I worked as a
trainee on the project *GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) System
Survey & Mobile Telephony at Ericsson India Private Limited*.* *I am
seeking to complement this experience with a research internship under your
guidance in order to acquire the background necessary for a future career in
scientific research.* ***
Given an opportunity, I will utilize my capabilities and interest in
innovation and research in the project with the confidence of contributing
to the project. I am sure I can make a meaningful contribution to your
project so that it would be a useful association*. I would be delighted to
get an opportunity to work in your laboratory from 20th December to 31st
January, during my winter break. (In case you have vacations in December,
I'm ready to work from January 2, 2009 )***
My Resume enclosed at the end of the mail should reflect that my courses and
previous record have prepared me well for such a work. I would be glad to
provide you with any other details that you may require. Thank you for your
consideration and I hope to contribute to a valuable project for OLPC under
your expert guidance this winter.
*Awaiting your kind response,***
