Paper to mentionMention their NSERC grant from 2022

Subject: Prospective PhD student: computational chemistry Dear Professor van Wijngaarden, 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 "Investigating the stabilizing influences of organic sidechains in epoxides by rotational spectroscopy and computational chemistry: 1,2-epoxyhexane versus 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene." (2026), 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 "Detecting the chemical limits of the Universe with microwave and synchrotron infrared spectroscopy" (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]
