Applying for

Paper to mentionMention their NSERC grant from 2021

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Agricultural Residues Dear Professor Rehmann, 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 "Decoupling Dissolution and Biological Kinetics in Polycaprolactone-Based Denitrification: Direct Determination of Yield and Maximum Specific Growth Rate." (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 "Comprehensive investigation of mine-impacted water treatment using cryo-purification: Bench-scale and pilot-scale stages with the aid of artificial intelligence application" (2021), 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]
