Subject: Prospective PhD student: Data analytics Dear Professor Stanley, 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 "Discussion on "INTACT: a method for integration of longitudinal physical activity data from multiple sources" by Jingru Zhang, Erjia Cui, Hongzhe Li, and Haochang Shou."

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "Measures and Models of Mobility in Physical and Virtual Environments" (2020), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction.
