Subject: Prospective PhD student: Experiments and measurements Dear Professor Li, 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 "Impact of Surface Pretreatment on the Corrosion Resistance and Adhesion of Thin Film Coating on SS316L Bipolar Plates for Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Applications." (2024), 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 "Data-Driven Fuel Cell Stack Modeling for Real-Time Control Applications_x000d_" (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]
