My motivation to pursue a Ph.D. is driven by my ambition of a thriving career in teaching, research and industrial consultancy. I know that a thorough knowledge and a good grip of fundamentals are crucial for such a career. That is why, after meticulously considering my academic background, research interests and aptitude, I believe that Ph.D. in Industrial and System Engineering (ISyE) from a place like University of Minnesota (UMN) will help me to realize my career objectives.
Academics has always been my competence. I have excelled at almost every stage of my education. Throughout school, I have been at or near the top of my class. Later, a strong inclination towards Mathematics combined with a promising career opportunity propelled me to …show more content…
My M.Eng. research title is “A Framework for Linking Smallholders to the Market: A Case Study”. This work is based on the concepts of Supply Chain Management. In this work, after studying the current situation and practices of smallholder farmers of vegetables in Bangladesh, I identified the problems smallholder farmers face in market linkage. Then designed a framework for effectively linking smallholder farmers of vegetables to the market. I have also validated the framework with a case study of Brinjal supply chain in Narsingdi—a small district in Bangladesh.
One of my papers on Optimization has recently been accepted for presentation in the proceedings of the International Conference on Mechanical Industrial & Energy Engineering. It is titled “Transportation Cost Optimization Using Linear Programming”. In this paper, using linear programming, I modeled a real world transportation problem of a manufacturing company to obtain the optimal transportation cost. I used Excel Solver to model and solve this problem. Another paper titled “A Neural Network Model for Estimating Global Solar Radiation on Horizontal Surface” has already been published in the proceedings of IEEE sponsored conference—International Conference on Electrical Information …show more content…
So I joined a renowned Fast-Moving Consumer Good (FMCG) manufacturing company, J & J Essential Products Ltd., as an Operations Consultant. My job responsibility includes Operational Optimization, Cost Analysis and Optimal Pricing of Products. Here, I am involved with numerous projects that call for core engineering capabilities, engineering management skills and statistical understanding. Most of my tasks are research oriented and experimental in nature. For example, after extracting and carefully analyzing meaningful data from a particular process, our team propose some changes that help to improve the overall efficiency of an operation. This freedom in thinking and research focus, further inspired to pursue an advanced research career.
I have decided to apply to UMN after carefully examining the research interests of the faculty members. I have found Optimization and Operations Research among the strongest areas of research at UNM. As my primary research interests are also Optimization and Operations Research, I believe that graduate education at UMN will significantly contribute in enhancing my research capability, and thus help me to attain my career objectives. Enormous size of UMN and the higher standard of living in Twin Cities are two other factors that influenced me to choose this
