大家拍拍我的PS呀！ 只有540字左右，不会是“臭裹脚布”的 ！

Electromagnetics (E/M) has fascinated me years ago, because of a period of valuable experience of electronic design since I entered the university (UESTC). Serving as the chairman at Student Association of Science & Technology, I, together with my teammates, finished many projects in various fields: robotic, communication, RF circuits etc. At that time, I found E/M wave and field is so attractive because of its magic characteristics, concise form and ubiquity in electronic science.


To prepare myself for a career in E/M, I began with reading some of E/M reviews. I started designing micro-strip filter circuits with a postgraduate student. Improving the selectivity and miniaturization, I referred others’ structures; added extra folded branches and source-load coupling part and computed parameters with Matlab. From this project, I got to know micro-strip circuit deeply and handle HFSS well.   And my second project is derived from interest to Terahertz technology, designing a brand new overmoded confocal converter which could potentially bring a revolution to gyrotron! And through every time of simulation and computation, I collected bulks of first-hand simulation results, proposed several better structures than the raw model from Prof. Fu and improved the converting efficiency remarkably. Now, encouraged by his remarks, I am still working on this topic by deducing the structure’s transfer equation then optimizing the parameters and publishing my results as my graduate project.


In addition, from the course Computational Electromagnetics (CEM), lectured by Prof Lai, I understand the importance of algorithms and programming in E/M and got many chances for firsthand practice such as programing MoM, FDTD, and Monte Carlo Method with Matlab to tackle E/M problems. To apply my CEM experience to practical level and broad my outlook into more E/M area, I have pursued research in inverse scattering and nondestructive detection. Learning optimization and functional analysis theory through postgraduate class and even some interesting interactions with Prof. Chen (from National University of Singapore)in email, I got to understand many cutting-edge papers and algorithms, and located point-like scatterers with his method in Matlab programing.


I have carefully considered and evaluated whether or not I should further my spiritual journey to a Ph.D. in Iowa State University. I decide to do so because I have already dedicated most of my undergraduate years to the academic pursuits with excitement. To develop this excitement to even more boundless progress, I am eager to further explore the issues in electromagnetics. And the most significantly is the strong expectation of my future career which could be full of challenges and uncertainties, leading a productive and passionate life. And XXX Univ’s emphasis on interdisciplinary research and its long history of working with industry makes the program unrivaled. I have a yearning for a position in the ECE department of XXX University experiencing the vibrant research-oriented culture.


I have followed the research done in Computational E/M and NDE at XX Univ closely, having recently been excited by the recent work on numerical analysis of wave propagation in metamaterials because of its potential applications in THz technology and synthesis with my background in CEM. I have also been interested in NDE due to the strong ability and long history in XXX Univ and development of EM into more wide area such as XX,XX,XX…


求建议呀， 顺问一下， 这是500字版的，如果要减到500字以下（减掉40+字）从哪方面减？ 如果要加到800-1000，具体哪个部分加最有效呀（不废话）呀？ 谢谢各位大大的好心~~！！！


祝各位飘过的富农都可以被offer雨砸晕，偶也

整体感觉行文比较混乱，建议楼主重新梳理一下思路。

总算传对了，大家给建议哈，顶~

你申ms还是phd？如果申ms的话这份应该是可以的了。如果是phd，我认为还是要好好改一下吧～
我感觉你谈research还只是在表面上，还不如就一个project好好谈你用的方法、参数、以及里面可能出现的问题什么的，当然如果你有字数限制那我就只能呵呵了。而且我感觉你没有很明显的谈你未来的研究方向和计划。那个further explore the issues in electromagnetics你有没有考虑过具体到哪个小方向？这个小方向有什么问题是你感兴趣解决的？electromagnetics是一个很广的方向，我有没有猜错？
还有个建议给你参考下，我申请的很多学校都可以自由上传supplemental document，我就上传多了一份专门谈research interest的，比sop更详细。
我不是搞EE的，所以说的话也不太能算数～

我感觉lz的还不错

我只想问：
你说的和singapore的老师在邮件上联系，是假的吗？因为我看出的第一感觉是fake的。如果committee member有和我一样的想法就不好了。。当然这是我个人意见

谢谢建议啊！我申请的是Ph.D.
研究方向以及经历神马的，的确写的笼统，不详细。 主要是考虑到我的经历比较多杂（如你所见）总觉得完全不谈某项经历，专详细写一项经历有点不舍。 我会重点考虑你的建议，看要不要只写一两个。。
as for 我的研究方向未来展望。 我一直觉得最后两段是我的重点段落。因为这个PS是以ISU为蓝图的，当时的确没定方向，套磁不是很positive，他家方向EM多，我就写了两个，一个是NDE（无损探测），一个是CEM（计算电磁）在最后一段
lastly，非常感谢你的建议！！！！！

这事儿的确是真的。
真的会有这种感觉吗？ 咋改呀？  thanks

1. 缩写EM就行了，没见过E/M
2. 滤波器和那个回旋管一看就知道你没做什么东西打酱油的，缩吧，写成一段没意思
3. CEM，个人觉得你吹过了（除非你真懂），不要说MoM了，你FDTD如果能编过几个程序也可以，细致的展开聊聊，不一定要有是有创新的编程，关键是开始结合实际边界条件编程的时候遇到什么困难怎么解决的
4. chen zhining很久没做CEM了（当然，如果你说的是chen xudong），anyway，你如果有他推荐信可以扯扯，if no，删了吧
5. metamaterial和NDE（？）你如果觉得你真做了些东西，那就仔细介绍吧，提两个名词对非microwave&EM的人可以唬，对prof们没任何意义
6. ISU貌似都是做CEM的（前几天还看到Song Jinming），针对性的多写这点吧
good luck

同学是成电的吗？
是EM的同道呀~~~~！可以深度聊聊了····
2. 其实微带这个的确是没什么成果的，只是按照论文仿了几种结构，而模式转换器这个，主要是HFSS仿真优化呀，这两个我已经缩了，再缩就干脆删了吧? 在考虑这种方案···
3. 关于CEM，为啥不能写MoM呢？ 关于FDTD，说实话，真没什么创新编程，但是遇到的最大困难就是老师给的公式错了，一直出不来结果，后来我发现了，就好了。。。FDTD这个项目（作业）本就比较小，有意义的困难不好写。。在考虑展开写实现过程~~
4. 超材料和探测这个没做过项目（如果前面提到的逆散射不算的话），但是因为是以ISU为模板写的，就写上了两个意向方向了，不存在唬人的问题，是想去那读这个方向
5. ISU的NDE做的很好的，有木有，光实验室就有两个，他家电磁方向的老师中，除了song，全是NDE的老师。 关于Prof.Chen ,的确是cheng xudong哈，通信也就是邮件来往。。删也删不了多少呀？（当然如果像楼上说的有负面影响的话，就一定得删了···）
