Subject: Prospective PhD student: Catalyseurs Dear Professor Lavoie, 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 "Effects of defective maple syrup and fermentation parameters on the kinetics, physicochemical characteristics, and volatile compounds of maple wine." (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 "Innovative removable defoamer for the food industry: application to maple syrup production" (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]
