Dear Selection Committee Members,

I am writing in response to the advertisement as regard vacancy for Doctoral Grant for the project of on sparse tensor approximation methods for high-dimensional transport
problems at Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Applied Computation. I respectfully submit this letter of application, for I believe my experiences are well qualified to meet the needs of the project.

I graduated from Master in Computation program at Tegal Alur University in Jakarta, Indonesia at 2006. I am currently a student at Master of Science in Complex Computation programme in the same university and fully expect to complete my degree by December 2007.

I work at Institute of Computation. Five years experience as a lecturer for Institute of Computation keens my experience in the application of computation in many fields. I also conducted project supervision for my student in those research areas. I achieved teaching experience also as a visiting lecturer in some universities in Jakarta. Besides my main responsibility, I also accomplished some research independently or in a team mainly in complex computation. These practices give me skill in the application of complex computation.

My studies in Computation and Complex Computation programme in Tegal Alur University not only provide me strong background and research experience in computation but also in its application in many fields. Several projects and course provide me broad view of computation problem in various fields. I also have gained valuable experience in solving real problem

I believe with these educational values that I possess, pursuing a PhD will add more to it and expose me more to areas where Computer science knowledge are relevant and in addition, put into practice what I have learnt so far. I have enclosed the application form, my CV, certificate and transcript. I look forward to hear from you soon. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brahmana

  1. Salam kenal Mas Tio,
    Ini benar2 kebetulan sekali… saya mau apply di Hasselt Universiteit, untuk PhD Logistic. Saya benar-benar belum tahu dengan pendidikan di Belgia. saya diminta melampirkan motivation letter dan aplikasi (saya sempat kontak via e-mail, apa hanya itu saja, mereka jawab iya…setengah ga yakin tapi saya coba saja)… date line saya tanggal 8 nanti, moga2 saya bisa berkomunikasi dengan mas Tio… kira-kira peluang keberhasilan dulu lah… nanti kalau dinyatakan lolos baru saya mau tanya (maaf) banyak tentang kondisi di sana. S1 saya sama Matematika FMIPA … S2 Teknik Industri. Mohon atensi ya mas… dulu pernah coba DAAD..khe, gagal.

    Thank buat blog nya…moga saya bisa lolos tahap awal ini.Amin.

    • Asswrwb Mas Sidiq,
      Untuk melamar PhD disini peluangnya bagus kok, ada satu rekan dari indonesia juga yang sedang PhD di IMOB, namun bukan di bagian logistiknya..tahun lalu ada rekan dr indonesia juga yg diterima disini tapi karena dia dpt kerja juga dia lebih memilih kerja..so..jangan takut untuk mencoba….
      Sukses yah,
      Wassalam
      Tio

  15. Well done! Your motivation letters are very well structured, detailed and convincing, so I’ve stolen some of your phrases and ideas, hope you won’t mind 🙂
    As for me, I would never publish my ML because it’s the result of a hard work (yep, I do spend a lot of time on that) that many others will just simple copy and paste but I do admire your generosity.

    Keep on keeping on!
