LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

To Whom It May Concern:

This is an unsolicited letter of recommendation on behalf of 
Ms. Ingrid Liliana Budimulya, S.T.
that I prepare to support her intention to continue her study to pursue a Masters Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, especially in Microelectronics or other related areas, in your university or institution. 
Ms. Ingrid Liliana Budimulya completed her first degree (Sarjana Teknik, S.T.) 5 (five) years ago in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Atmajaya, Makassar INDONESIA, a prominent private university that I have been with since 1995.  She was one my best students and also one of the university’s best graduates of the year. She took my classes in Industrial Electronics. As I remember it, she received the highest grades for her excellent test-results, examination and class-papers. She graduated with a first class honor, which she deserved, and a cumulative GPA of 3.07 out of 4.00 to prove her competency. After the graduation she served as my teaching assistant for several classes that I taught in the University of Atmajaya  Makassar. I admired her dedication and devotion to her work. It was only natural when the University of Atmajaya Makassar recruited her later on as a full faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering.
Ms. Ingrid Liliana Budimulya has a capacity and a bright future as a researcher in engineering science.  For their final under-graduate project under my supervision, she and her partner had done a very excellent job together to build a function generator as an application of ICL 8038. I am very satisfied and proud of their work, which was very useful to support laboratory courses in the department. As a junior faculty member, she also successfully conducted a research study on the effects of the electrical power utility disturbances to the home electronic and electrical appliances.
I am very proud of this young lady, and I am very happy to hear that she would like to continue her education. This indicates how she values education highly and how she appreciates it as a career.
I have been so thoroughly impressed by Ms. Ingrid Liliana Budimulya’s academic capability, and that she showed a great interest in learning about the new technology in the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering, I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity to pursue a higher degree program in this area. I strongly believe that she will complete her continuing study program without any difficulty what so ever.
Should you wish to get any further information, please feel free to contact me, and I will gladly respond to your inquiries.

With kindest regards,

Rhiza S. Sadjad, Ir., M.S.E.E., Ph.D.
