"Hold onto your dreams because if dreams die, life is a bird with broken wings that cannot fly." - Langston Hughes I would like to introduce myself as Rob Geis. Since my childhood I have been inclined to have a practical approach to everything in life and I was very supported and encouraged by my parents. Having a house closer to the airport and watching planes take off and land from the terrace every day was the first seed planted in my heart that pushed me to dedicate myself to engineering so I could be as close as possible to my passion for aeronautics . After high school, I discovered my interest in physics and mathematics and this led me to choose Electronic and Instrumentation Engineering which included my interest in electronics and aeronautics related subjects such as control systems, computer engineering, automation and robotics, not to forget thermal engineering and also fluid mechanics. Having scored a total of 91.6% in my high school, I took up mathematics, physics and chemistry for classes 11 and 12 so that I could pursue engineering. With a score of 88.6% in my 11th and 12th grade, I got a chance to attend the Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering program at GITAM Institute of Technology, GITAM University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in INDIA. The field of computer engineering, especially control systems, automation and robotics have always fascinated me and automation will revolutionize the already hectic life of the modern world. It is a norm in every sphere of this world. And I hope that a master's degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California will put me at the forefront of this achievement. At GITAM Institute of Technology, GITAM University, I have management skills and also contacts in professional societies. I have no doubt that the University of Southern California is “THE University for me, as it provides a unique mix of educational advantages. It is one of the most dynamic universities that provides personal attention and extensive academic resources along with superior education in the field of computer engineering with the help of a capacious course. Here I will receive an education that will provide me with both the technical skills and the intellectual discipline to become a leader in the industry. Overall, it is a comprehensive university that provides me with an education it will serve me well in my career and prepare me for a lifetime of learning. This will ultimately help me make vital contributions to society and work in ways that accelerate the progress and betterment of humanity as a whole...
