The desire to excel leads to a quest for knowledge, which I feel is the driving force for my decision to study further, even after having done so for the last 25 years of my life! And my decision to contemplate graduate studies in Computer Science is the outcome of a thorough consideration of my academic background, the areas of my interest and most importantly my eventual professional ambition.

USC, located in Los Angeles, a global center for arts, technology and international trade, the University of Southern California is one of the world’s leading private research universities. USC enrolls more international students than any other U.S. university and offers extensive opportunities for internships and study abroad. With a strong tradition of integrating liberal and professional education, USC fosters a vibrant culture of public service and encourages students to cross academic as well as geographic boundaries in their pursuit of knowledge.
