Dear all,
I have been sending emails to professors for over a month now. I only got two responses saying that all the spots are filled and they do not accept any more students. Many professors did not respond to my email , even-though, I sent them a gentle reminder too. Below is the format of the email which I usually send, please, help if you believe that I have to bring some changes:
Subject: Prospective Student: Civil Engineering
Dear Dr. Khan,
My name is X X and I got the Bachelor's of Technology in Civil Engineering from India with a CGPA of 7.04 on a 10.0 point scale. I obtained Master of Science in Transport Engineering from Hiroshima University ,Japan with a GPA of 4.13 out of 5.0. The language of instruction and assessment in the mentioned programs had been English.
The research project during my master’s degree was titled "Smart Monitoring of Street Roughness in Neighborhood". In this research ,I used an iPhone to measure the street roughness. I checked your website and got interested in your work after reading "Factoring Cycling in Transportation Infrastructure" . I am curious to explore this more by identifying cyclist-vehicle collision black-spots due to turning maneuver in a city. This would help in planning better policies for increasing the safety of cyclists in an urban area.
I wish to begin my studies in September 2018 and would be very interested in working under your supervision. I would appreciate if you let me know about the research opportunities at your lab. Thank you !
Warm regards,
X X, Msc.
