Now I am looking forward to attending George Mason University, and have begun to consider possible research labs for continuing my studies as a graduate student.
TheMy attached CV shows how my program has provided me with hands-on knowledge in both academic and industrial areas. I have worked in quality control for a software company as a Quality Control for some monthmonths, and then worked as a software developer. Alongside these worksthis work, I have developed an interest in software testing, which happens to match your area of research. As I went through theThrough my web research, I came across some of your researchesresearch on software testing and mutation analysis. Your works are amazing is amazing; especiallyin particular, "ByPassBypass testing in theof web application" caught my attention immediately, and I want to work more on it. You have been in this field for a considerable amount of time, so I think that working under you, I would get to learn much more.
Please let me know if there is an opening for a graduate student in the upcoming fall of 2019. Attached is my transcript. Furthermore, I will investigate the possibility of applying for the scholarship as well.
