Subject: Prospective PhD student Dear Professor Yow, 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 "Stacked graph attention network hypertuned by Heteroscedastic and Evolutionary Bayesian Optimization for fault identification on nuclear power plants robust to sensor drift." (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 "Managing Decentralized Microgrids with Attention-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) Algorithms" (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]
