Subject: Prospective PhD student: Nanosensors & biosensors Dear Professor Bouilly, 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 "The molecular origin of the electrostatic gating of single-molecule field-effect biosensors investigated by molecular dynamics simulations." (2022), 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 SSHRC-funded project "Exploiting Electrolytic Gating in Graphene Field-Effect Nanosensors to Achieve Multiplexed Breast Cancer Profiling for Personalized Medicine" (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]
