Personal Statement

个人陈述

申请专业：帝国理工大学MSc Computing (Software Engineering)

Computer science, since my childhood, has been my dream major and has been motivating me to explore indefatigably. Because of my enthusiasm for it, the fierce competition and heavy workload in college become the finest nutrition to foster my studies, fortifying my expertise in computer science with practical skills of programming, algorithms, databases and of operating systems, etc. It is computer science that rewarded me with the strongest sense of accomplishment. Longing from heart for the strong atmosphere of creating in this field, moreover, I gradually realized that as a Computer Science major, I cannot merely focus on immediate professional skills; I must also contemplate how to bring creative changes to computer technology itself, which can stimulate my innovative potential further. For this cogitative purpose, I resolve to pursue more cutting-edge technology of computer science so as to consolidate my professionalism of undertaking software engineeringresearch.

计算机科学，从小就是我梦寐以求的专业，一直激励着我不懈探索。因为我对它的热情，大学里激烈的竞争和繁重的工作成为培养我学习的最佳营养，用编程、算法、数据库和操作系统等实用技能加强我在计算机科学方面的专业知识。是计算机科学给了我最强烈的成就感。发自内心地向往这一领域浓厚的创作氛围，而且，我逐渐意识到，作为一名计算机专业的学生，我不能只关注眼前的专业技能；我还必须思考如何给计算机技术本身带来创造性的变化，这可以进一步激发我的创新潜力。为此，我决心追求更前沿的计算机科学技术，以巩固我从事软件工程研究的专业精神。

（介绍学习计算机的动机）

I have been striving to maintain a high GPA both at University of Alberta and University of British Columbia, which can be proved by my performance on Dean’s Honour List each year and the Faculty of Science International Student Scholarship. With my knowledge extending itself to such CS areas as software engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, I obtained my greatest harvest during study, the top-down thinking method, which guides me to learn starting from the topmost applications, and by learning about the working principle of the previous layer, to approach the nature of the machine. The structured sense of logic embodied in this process truly captivated me; I also used to feel deeply appealed to artificial intelligence; however, my fantasy, namely there is an omnipotent algorithm which can reason like a human brain, broke into pieces after I studied machine learning, which told me there is no such supremetechnology and knowledge to date. Realizingthat mathematics and logic are still the fundamentals underpinning computer science, I therefore chose the philosophical course of formal language to get closer to the nature of reasoning, which enlightened me a lot in logical thinking.

在阿尔伯塔大学和不列颠哥伦比亚大学读书时，我一直努力保持较高的平均绩点，这可以通过我每年在院长荣誉名单上的表现和理学院国际学生奖学金得到证明。随着我的知识扩展到软件工程、人工智能和机器学习等计算机（CS）领域，我在学习期间获得了最大的收获，即自上而下的思维方法，这种方法指导我从最顶层的应用程序开始学习，并通过学习上一层的工作原理来接近机器的本质。这一过程中所体现的逻辑结构感着实让我着迷；我也曾经对人工智能深感诉求；然而，我的幻想，即有一个万能的算法可以像人脑一样推理，在我学习机器学习后破碎了，这告诉我迄今为止没有这样至高无上的技术和知识。意识到数学和逻辑仍然是支撑计算机科学的基础，因此我选择了形式语言的哲学课程，以更接近推理的本质，这在逻辑思维方面启发了我很多。

（介绍自己的本科学术背景，以及自己对软件工程、人工智能和机器学习等计算机领域的思考）

As my theoretical foundation in computer science was built up, I also began to develop a series of CS works which can realize different functions. APixiv scrawler developed by me with Python, can help its users save illustrations from Pixiv, a virtual community website. Another work developed with Python is a Markdown extension that can support the LaTeX-like template. In 2018,I familiarized myself with the practical use of Java by designing a note-taking desktop application. By using Flask and MySQL, I designed and deployed an online discussion board from zero in February 2019 and have been maintaining its operation. Now I am busy with trying more innovation and creation with computer technologies I have seized—innovation and creation should be permanent features of computer science; a qualified CS professional should be a proactive creator and developer of new technology.

随着我在计算机科学方面的理论基础的建立，我也开始开发一系列可以实现不同功能的CS作品。我用Python开发的一个Pixiv scrawler，可以帮助它的用户保存来自虚拟社区网站Pixiv的插图。用Python开发的另一项工作是Markdown扩展，它可以支持类似LaTeX的模板。2018年，我通过设计一个记笔记的桌面应用，熟悉了Java的实际使用。通过使用Flask和MySQL，我于2019年2月从零开始设计并部署了一个在线讨论板，并一直维护其运行。现在我正忙于用我掌握的计算机技术尝试更多的创新和创造——创新和创造应该是计算机科学的永久特征；一个合格的CS专业人员应该是新技术的积极创造者和开发者。

（介绍了自己在计算机方面的开发实践）

In order to continually perfect my expertise, I also chose practice in workplace and entered App Annie in June 2020 as a Productivity Engineering Intern. My duties were developing and maintaining the DevOps toolchain of all departments, which enabled me to experience the workflow of agile development and known the communication mode between teams. More importantly, thanks to the plentiful projects in the department, I could touch such technologies as Jenkins and Docker that keenly interested me. My trouble-solving abilities got strengthened as well. By checking a multitude of documents of Firefox and Chrome, designing a browser extension used by the Sales and Front-end departments, I succeeded in conquering the problems about compatibility and cache performance. As my efforts earned praise from the head of the front-end development team, I already resolved to further accumulate first-hand work experience through such internships in my senior year.

为了不断完善自己的专业知识，我还选择了职场实践，并于2020年6月进入App Annie，担任生产力工程实习生。我的职责是开发和维护所有部门的DevOps工具链，这使我体验了敏捷开发的工作流程，并了解了团队之间的沟通模式。更重要的是，由于该部门的大量项目，我可以接触到Jenkins和Docker等令我非常感兴趣的技术。我解决问题的能力也得到了加强。通过检查Firefox和Chrome的大量文档，设计销售和前端部门使用的浏览器扩展，我成功地克服了关于兼容性和缓存性能的问题。由于我的努力赢得了前端开发团队负责人的赞扬，我已经下定决心在大三通过这样的实习进一步积累第一手工作经验。

As mentioned above, CS majors must bring innovative changes to computer science. In order for this, during graduate study, I hope to deepen my understanding of cutting-edge technologies, especially those about distributed systems and computer security; my professional and personal capabilities should be simultaneously strengthened in several aspects, including doing independent scientific research, abstracting mathematical models from practical problems, combining my knowledge and skills with real working scenarios, etc. Besides, my creative thinking should be further sharpened to help me extend or transform existing thoughts and conceive a unique and complete framework for new technologydevelopment or problem solving. As long as I am sufficiently prepared in the above aspects, plus my fortified expertise in Computer Science, I believe I will create new and feasible computer technologies to benefit people.

如上所述，计算机科学(CS)专业学生必须给CS带来创新性的改变。为了这个，在研究生学习期间，我希望加深对前沿技术的了解，尤其是关于分布式系统和计算机安全的知识；我的专业能力和个人能力要在几个方面同步加强，包括做独立的科学研究，从实际问题中抽象出数学模型，将自己的知识技能与真实的工作场景相结合等等。此外，我的创造性思维应该进一步提高，以帮助我扩展或转换现有的想法，并为新技术开发或解决问题构思一个独特而完整的框架。只要我在上述方面做好充分准备，再加上我在计算机科学方面的专业知识，我相信我会创造出新的可行的计算机技术来造福人类。

（介绍自己在研究生学习阶段的目标：加深对前沿技术的了解，尤其是关于分布式系统和计算机安全的知识）

When I was looking for the best platform for my graduate degree, MSc the Computing (Software Engineering) programme of Imperial College London caught my attention. On your school’s official website, I found that the research areas of the programme involve distributed algorithms and distributed corpora, which is what I would like to study in depth at the graduate level. In addition, I could also delve into artificial intelligence and machine learning. As I mentioned above, I still have a great interest in these areas, and I hope to make a breakthrough in these areas of research once I have mastered strong math and logic. Your university can provide me with the guidance of excellent professors and a wealth of academic resources, and with my undergraduate academic background, I am confident that I can contribute my share to the field of software engineering in computer science by leveraging expertise and skills acquired. I may work as a computer engineer in a large-scale computer technology company after graduation. I also hope sincerely your first-rate career service will help me further specify my long-range career planning. I am extremely eager to complete my postgraduate degree at your university and sincerely request that you give me an opportunity to do so.

当我在为我的研究生学位寻找最佳平台时，伦敦帝国理工学院的计算机(软件工程)硕士课程引起了我的注意。在贵校官网上，我发现该项目的研究领域涉及分布式算法和分布式语料库，这也是我想在研究生阶段深入研究的内容。此外，我还可以深入研究人工智能和机器学习。正如我上面提到的，我仍然对这些领域有很大的兴趣，我希望一旦我掌握了强大的数学和逻辑，我可以在这些研究领域取得突破。贵校可以为我提供优秀教授的指导和丰富的学术资源，加上我的本科学历，我有信心通过利用所获得的专业知识和技能，为计算机科学中的软件工程领域贡献自己的一份力量。

毕业后可能会在大型计算机技术公司做计算机工程师。我也真诚地希望你们一流的职业服务能帮助我进一步明确我的长期职业规划。我非常渴望在贵校完成我的研究生学位，并真诚地请求您给我一个机会。
