Subject: Prospective PhD student: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Cpap) Dear Professor Lodha, 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 "Antepartum Exposure to Greenness, Air Pollution, and Temperature and Outcomes of Preterm Infants" (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 CIHR-funded project "Pulmonary Insufficiency, Non-Invasive Respiratory Support via Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula (HHFNC), and Development of Oromotor Skills in Preterm Infants: An Innovative Approach towards Improving Infant Outcomes." (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]
