HON. WILLIAM ANYAK DENG

Undersecretary

Motivation:
I am a dynamic, goal-oriented person with self-determination to input my vital human effort into a systematic process focused on a quality end product and services that understand and meets the customers’ requirements within and outside the organizational situation clause. Throughout my academic career as well as working environment I stand as a motivated and hardworking individual, and I gained skills to work in a network, manage, lead and collaborate effectively with people. These rich increasing experiences have built my confidence in working independently as researcher personnel. For my future career, I see this Doctoral fellow in Geophysics as the way to broaden my knowledge in geophysics and petroleum geology as well as understanding the subsurface. The program covers areas of research that match my interests such seismic data processing and interpretation. I look forward to once again becoming part of a scientific research project in geophysics, a pursuit of career research and experiences of excitement and satisfaction of being interested in geophysics. With the educational values and experiences that I possess, I believe that I have the capability and potential to take challenging tasks in geophysics position.
