Dear Prof. ,
I am writing to apply for the PhD program in Geotechnical Engineering for Fall 2013. I am a graduate of the Master’s program in ...., Iran with GPA of 4 (equivalent to 17.93/20 in Iran’s grading system). My thesis title “Evaluating current constitutive models in predicting earth dam behavior” was granted an A (20/20 grade).
Three articles are the outcome of my research on the topic of earth dams including: 1) Prediction of Load-Deformation Behavior of Rockfill Dams under Construction (14th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics & Geotechnical Engineering, Hong Kong, May 2011); 2) Application of Numerical Modeling to Predict the Behavior of a Rockfill Dam under Construction (6th International Conference on Dam Engineering, Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 2011); and 3) Stress-Settlement Analysis of an Under-Construction Earth Dam: A Case Study (Acta Geotechnica Slovenica Journal, October 2011 - Under Review). I have also cooperated in translating the book “Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics” by A. Aysen to the Persian language.
On a professional perspective, I have worked with a Research Institute in form of a six-month research program following my Master’s thesis on Numerical Modeling of Earth Dams. In addition, my current cooperation with Iranian National Standardization Organization as an Official Standard Proofreader constitutes a portfolio of 19 national standards within Coke and Coal specialties.
My academic and scholarly interests include ..... In a subsequent study, I intend to engage in research within the above scope of interests with emphasis on preferably computer-aided numerical models. I am also open to new research subjects if deemed necessary. Considering your outstanding background, it will be of great honor for me to inquire whether you are currently accepting any new graduate students or not.
My TOEFL iBT score is as follows: R:23, L:26, S:24, W:30, Total: 103. My GRE score will be ready soon.
I have also enclosed a copy of my CV. I will gladly provide any other supporting materials upon request.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
....
