aim of this work vs aim of my work

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Aim of this work' is more general and can refer to any work being discussed, while 'aim of my work' is more specific and refers to the work of the speaker. The choice between them depends on whether you are talking about work in general or your own work specifically.
