Topic > High Energy Physics - 958

The ability to answer profound questions such as the origin of mass and the dominance of matter over antimatter and a keen desire to unlock the secrets of our universe motivates me to pursue a Ph.D. research and subsequently a research career in Physics. As a PhD student I hope to learn about the extremely interesting field of high energy physics and make my contribution to it. I had my first experience of team research during high school while competing in a World Maths and Science Olympiad hosted by the University of Canberra. As part of the team all members had to study together to propose solutions to the problems posed. Studying various advanced concepts, beyond the school curriculum, opened up a new horizon for me, motivated me to look at problems from a new perspective and I realized my inclination towards studying Physics and Mathematics. In the final stage of the Olympics we won the silver medal for our school and a certificate of excellence. As I prepared for the Olympics, I gained not only new knowledge and experience, but also the confidence that pursuing physics was the right decision. After achieving excellent results in my final year Educational Board Exams, which are equivalent to a US high school diploma, I gained admission to the University of Delhi, the highest ranked university in India. I spent 3 years as part of the three-year degree in Physics studying and developing the concepts of physics supporting articles ranging from Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics to Electricity and Magnetism and Statistical Mechanics. I had the privilege of studying under some of the best in their field and got much-needed research exposure. During the summer of 201... halfway through the work... High Energy Mental Physics motivates me to study at the University of Florida. I am sure that working and studying in such an environment would provide me with the necessary exposure for the intellectual development that is crucial and vital for professional maturity. The incentive to study the phenomenology of new physics beyond the standard model under the guidance of Professor Matchev is a very strong reason to apply. Not only because he is working on high-energy physics, my favorite field of study, but also because I would like to study and ultimately contribute to the development of a Grand Unified Theory. I believe that my ability to work with determination and focus, a strong academic record and research experience will be useful as I pursue my studies and that a doctoral program at the University of Florida would be the next milestone in my career.
