My Statement
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is Yirgalem Gidey Gebru, an Ethiopian citizen with a BSc in Information Technology (Engineering). I am writing this letter for the Masters' Scholarship position in Cyber Security at Japan University.
As a highly motivated undergraduate, I have gained a high distinctive result, hands-on knowledge in different research areas and skills. My undergraduate study was a breakthrough academic achievement of my early childhood dream and professional career where I gained a remarkable theoretical knowledge accompanied with a lot of experiments, course projects, mini and final projects which build my academic and research experience. I have participated and contributed to the university community as a member of a Mekelle University-Mekelle Institute of Technology (MU-MIT) peace forum, charity club, in managing and performing academic, social and cultural events.
Until recently I have been working in the Industry as an Exploit Tool Researcher in a security, research and IT projects based governmental organization called the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), Ethiopia that enabled me to obtain an extraordinary skill in particular with malicious files analysis, design, configuration, implementation, and overall Malware Development software applications from small to large projects that involved private and governmental organizations. Also I have worked in private organization called Trans Ethiopia as a network administrator for more than two and a half months which allowed me to perform in a new working environment, culture, language, and challenges. Working in these giant companies provided me a wonderful experience in multi-disciplinary tasks, multiple vendor products, systems, and technologies. Thus, I have an impressive experience in research, governmental and non-governmental organizations for almost four years in the Malware Cyber Security and related fields.
My passion to know how things work together with the academic achievements and industry experience I gained made me to be highly passionate about pursuing my master's program in Cyber Security Research specifically in Malware Development. It is such a promising and an ideal research area for ambitious Information Technology scientists keep themselves up to date with the latest technologies and to make innovations. This all together made me decide to work on my master’s research in this hot area of Cyber Security with the title Mal Developer. To achieve my goal, I preferred Milan University primarily as it dedicates itself as a source of new scientific innovations which are globally significant with local relevance.
Secondly, it provides all-inclusive academic grounding to scientists and engineers, enabling them to involve in joint multidisciplinary understanding and further development of complex and dynamic systems to achieve innovation and economic growth, especially in the emerging and significant area of Cyber to realize the long-lasting contribution to the society.
Finally, yet importantly, Milan University provides opportunities for students from many nations around the world, with diverse cultures and ideas that will provide me a wonderful experience. Italy has been always my choice due to many reasons, among which some of them include: high quality and world-class educational institutions with hundreds of years of international reputation, multicultural society with all religions and faiths open to new traditions and cultures which is a great opportunity for me as an international student. Italy has a lot of history to explore, rich in culture, with the English language spoken all over the world. Besides, I have attended all my undergraduate studies in English which will be comfortable to do my master’s research in Italy.
The courses I took during my undergraduate program in Information Technology (Engineering) and, the researches I have conducted during my academic and as an employee together with the industry experience I gained in the areas of Exploit Tool Research, Vulnerability Research in Information Network and Security Agency, made a flawless match with the Masters research area of my interest.
Thankfully, Italy is going to fully fund this prestigious master’s research opportunity. I wish to delve deeper into the subjects to be able to carry out independent research and analysis or serve in a research institution. My long-term goal is to become an expert in Malware Development and to aid the development of this area internationally and my home country where it is a demanding area to work on. I am aware that my knowledge in this area is insufficient, but I am sure that I am committed and motivated enough to fill in the gap. I believe that the academic and research background together with the huge industry experience has a solid foundation. Through the world-class research and innovation of Milan University, I am confident that I will develop expertise and boost the quality of my research potential.
