Personal statement for a Ph. D. Program

Graduating next semester with a B.S.in Theoretical Physics, I'm dying to attend the State University of Michigan for Ph.D.study both for deeper knowledge and practical skills in this field. My main interest, among the concentration of your Ph.D. program of Physics is in cold atom physics.

I received my master's degree in Theoretical Physics from xx University, which is a double-class university. Three years of postgraduate study has laid a solid foundation for my theoretical knowledge and I also learned how to do scientific research efficiently. During that period, I have developed a strong interest in cold atom physics. Through study, I have a more comprehensive understanding of this field, and I also have new research result in a small branch of the field. Taking the study of Beliave damping in the Spin-Orbit-Coupling system as an example, the SOC system is the coupling of the orbital angular momentum and the angular momentum in the atom. This interaction is very weak, but it has a great influence on the whole system. The calculation results show that the particles move only in one direction when they decay,leading to anisotropy, which changes the properties of the system. This study shows that there will be new physical phenomena in the SOC system, which also provides theoretical basis for the experiment. In addition, I am now working on topological fermions, which is a very new field to explore, and I believe there will be more interesting things to do.

I have learned that the Ph.D. program in Theoretical Physics at the State University of Michigan enjoys a worldwide reputation and the study of cold atomic physics is especially powerful. The strong academic atmosphere and excellent teaching resources will greatly advance my research.

With solid theoretical foundation and preliminary research results in this field, I believe that studying for a Ph.D.Program will enable me to carry out further scientific research, I hope you will give my application every consideration.
