Dear Professor Elangovan,

My name is Kevin To, and I'm a current freshman at Penn State Abington, currently working
towards getting a degree in Computer Science. Im writing to you to show my interest in
working with you on an independent study in computer gaming. I hope to expand the current
knowledge (see attached) I have on computers/gaming.

I see that you have a Ph.D. in Computer Information Systems Engineering and is a current
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and IST. I did some research and also found that
you did some studying on computer vision, machine vision, multi- sensor data fusion, and
activity sequence analysis. With the knowledge you already have it would be perfect for the
Independent study on what goes into making a game like the software they use, the coding
language they use, etc. With that being said, I also have a significant interest in
computers and gaming. My passion for technology and gaming started when I was in 5th
grade when I got my first computer. With both our love and passion for technology and
computers, I believe that we can come up with amazing research for my independent study.

I am thinking we can move on with this independent study by the end of next semester; I
understand that you are very busy with classes and research you have on your own. But I
am willing to put as much time and effort into this research. I'm also willing to work with your
schedule whenever it is most convenient for you. I would really appreciate it if you could get
back to me if this interests you.

Best regards,

Kevin To
