Include the names of the papers that you have read in addition to how you would like to extend the work, or how you think the work can be extended. Please specify what skills you believe you could bring to this project or related ones. We are also open to hearing your proposals on projects that you believe our group should explore. Then include the following:

  • Your major
  • Degrees
  • CV/resume
  • Transcript.

If you use the provided email address, my Ph.D. students and I will receive your response and one of us will respond. Please keep in mind that we receive a number of requests and that you might not hear back from us if you have not responded to the prompt.  Note: this prompt comes from a Quora top-rated response to a prospective Ph.D. student’s question,  “What should I write in my first introduction e-mail to my prospective Ph.D. supervisor to guarantee a positive reply?”
