I am seeking a challenging position in the VLSI CAD area.

I have recently completed my M.S. degree in Computer Science from
Western Michigan University. In the course of my M.S. degree program,
I have had more than two years of research experience in VLSI
Design Automation. My research is focused on the place and route in
physical design automation. Special emphasis is laid on developing
high-performance graph-theoretic algorithms for VLSI placement and
multilayer routing. My research also include the area of Graph Theory
and Combinatorial Optimization. I have eight publications in the
areas of VLSI Design Automation, Graph Theory, and Combinatorial
Optimization including one in the IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided 
Design and two in the prestigeous conference, IEEE International 
Conference on Computer-Aided Design. In all my research projects, I have 
written extensive code in C and C++ programming languages.

I posses excellent communication skills and my abilities to express my views 
clearly and interact efficiently with people have been the main reasons for 
my success.  I have the ability to work both in a team as well as in an 
individual project, as evident from my research projects. At all times, I am 
a strict adherer to project goals.  I am a fast learner and I believe that
I could make a significant contribution towards your organization with the
skills I have acquired. 

I would be pleased to interview with you and discuss further my qualifications.
I am available any time from now. Enclosed, please find a copy of my resume 
and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you. 

Sincerely,


Moazzem Hossain
