   Dear Sir/Madam,

      I am interested in a Research Scientist, Post-doc Position or Software
   Engineering position in the ares of Computer Vision, Neural Networks,
   Signal and Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence, and Sensor Fusion.

      I am completing my Ph.D degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering
   at SUNY at Buffalo this year. My Ph.D dissertation is in the 
   fields of computer vision, neural networks and image procesing titled,
   `Information Fusion in Visual Recognition and Reconstruction'.

      I have strong background and knowledge in signal and image processing
  and neural networks algorithms, and their application to real time
  applications and implementation in both software and hardware. As a 
  graduate assistant, I designed and developed artificial intelligence
  and neural network algorithms to pattern recognition, medical imaging 
  and document imaging applications. I have more than five years of 
  experience in developing software in above areas in C, C++, Lisp, Fortran,
  and Assembly in Unix/VMS/X environment.

     I am enclosing my resume below for your review. You can contact me
  at (716) 832 1408 or email me at rajapaks@eng.buffalo.edu if I can provide
  you with more details. I thank you for your kind consideration of my 
  resume for a suitable position at your organization.

     Sincerely,
