[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "CRAFT Simulator: A Robotic Device for the Identification of Human Foot Structure and Function" (2022), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
