Dear Sir/Madam:

I am posting my resume here as I am currently a PhD candidate in Electrical
Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, and expect to graduate in
December 1992. My area of research is Neural Networks, Digital Signal
Processing, and Fuzzy Control and I am looking for opportunities to do basic
or applied research and development in these or related areas after my
graduation. Besides these major research areas I have had research experience
in other areas including Genetic Algorithms, Signal Processing Architectures,
and Optical Computing/Signal Processing. With this unique blend of experience
in a wide spectrum of areas I feel confident that I can devise solutions to
research and development problems and contribute in both hardware and software
design.

I am looking for work with a group of strongly-motivated experienced
individuals with intense interest in particular areas. The most important
thing from my point of view is an environment where ideas can be exchanged,
and new ones thus created. I have no geographical preference.

My resume follows. If there is any interest in my background feel free to 
contact me and I will mail you a nicer formatted copy of my resume.
Thank you for your consideration.


					Sincerely,

					Girish Govind
