Paper to mentionMention their NSERC grant from 2021

Subject: Prospective PhD student: bioremediation Dear Professor Ghoshal, 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 "Sulfidation Doses of Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron Particles Need to Be Tuned to Achieve High Reactivity to Different Chlorinated Solvent Compounds." (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 "Next-generation sulfidated zerovalent iron nanoparticles for groundwater remediation: degradation of emerging and legacy halogenated pollutants and interactions with bacteria" (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]
