Subject: Prospective PhD student: Paste backfill 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 "Beyond miRNA Cargo Profiles: Anti-Inflammatory Roles of Extracellular Vesicle-Enriched miRNAs Derived From Human Intervertebral Disc Cells Unveiled by Functional Testing." (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 "Experimental, numerical, and analytical investigations of the hydrogeotechnical behavior of paste backfill and hydraulic backfill in interaction with waste rock to approach optimal design of waste rock barricades" (2024), 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]
