I remembered when I chose Prof. Srikandi Fardiaz, a friend of mymother in IPB, as my academic advisor. I told her about my mother’sstory. The professor had the same problem, lung cancer. And, alas,she passed away in 1999. Being a foodie with expertise inmicrobiology (just like Prof. Fardiaz and my mother) was anobsession. It was my key decision when I chose Prof. Betty SriLaksmi Jenie as my research advisor. She gave me a lot ofaccessibility in laboratory to develop my skill. As a result, I wasselected to deliver speech in National Student Competition on FoodScience and Technology (Semarang, 2001) and became Best StudentAward finalist in the same year.
(Anton Rahmadi, 2009 for PhD state of motivation)
I want to study at Stanford University because of your outstandingeducational system, focus on gathering relevant work experience,and your excellent facilities. From speaking with students andprofessors from your university and other universities, I amconfident of my decision. With many distinguished scientists asprofessors, I know that I will gain expert knowledge at the forefront ofdiscovery. Further supporting professors' lectures are youruniversity's use of advanced equipment and cooperation with topneuroscience centres. Moreover, by combining my theoretical andspecialized education with hands-on research in the second year,I will gain critical work experience. All these strong positives allowme to research cutting-edge technologies, such as BCI, and to pursuemy dreams and ambitions.
