Paper to mentionMention their NSERC grant from 2019

Subject: Prospective PhD student Dear Professor Zhou, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "The optimal design of clinical trials with potential biomarker effects: A novel computational approach." (2021), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "Optimal robust design and estimation for multi-response, multi-factor and multi-view models" (2019), 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]
