Hi!
I just found this website and registered here. I have written a letter to one of the universities. Could you read my prepared letter on this forum and you can give your valuable feedback on it.
I hope you will reply soon.
Cheers

Hello,
I am Rinki Nandi and may I first take the opportunity to begin with a big Thank You to The Young Investigators Group and Utrecht University for making an advantageous combination of resources and aim at a better understanding of polar ice sheets through detailed investigations and analysis techniques. Please note my interest in applying for a position of a PhD-student in the research of (The effect of deformation mechanisms for ice sheet dynamics), as advertised in Utrecht University of Technology Vacancy bulletin on 04/08/2010, has been immense. I hereby enclose a copy of my CV for your attention.
I studied BSc, from 2005-2008, at Presidency College, Calcutta University in India, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree. During that period, I effortlessly impressed my Scholars with my distinguished analytical skills. My inquisitive bent of mind kept me sharp and made me a progressive student. I participated in students’ scientific conferences and competitions. It helped me decide about my future academic career. It evolved my penchant for scientific research.
I obtained a master’s degree, MSc (Technology) in 200? , Dhanbad, East India. I specialised in Applied Geophysics. Among many others the focus was extensively on Structural Geology, Seismology, Electromagnetic methods, Geodynamics, Petrology, Exploration Seismology, Sedimentology , Reservoir Geophysics , Petroleum Geology, Numerical techniques in Geophysics and FORTRAN.
Based on my thesis, I was invited to take a PhD by the exam commission. My thesis based on those specialisations was of high calibre which gained me with the reward of doing Fieldwork primarily on Geology. It covered Electrical, Seismic, Electromagnetic, Magnetotelluric Methods, Gravity and Magnetic Methods used in Geophysics. Also, I studied Infinite Dimensional Operator Algebras and Initial Chapters of Fractals Everywhere (Barnsley) and of course Introduction to Number theory (Hardy).
Before I decided to do a PhD I wanted to take some practical experience. In 200? I moved to Chennai, South India, where I had to adapt myself to different standards of Research work, and to the new culture and language as well. India has indeed a rich and varied culture. I found myself a quick leaner. I did coursework while studying MSc Physics from 200?200?, at Indian Mathematical Science studies Chennai, India. It concentrated intensely on Theoretical Foundations of Physics. It covered topics as Quantum Mechanics, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Physics, Advanced Statistical Physics, Mathematical and Advanced Mathematical Methods. It was essentially based on Complex Analysis and Probability Statistics. Also, I learnt Lie Algebras, Tensor Analysis for General Relativity. To stress on Inverse Scattering which occupied most part of my Research work in Chennai, I did coursework/classroom*** course on Quantum Field Theory, Particle Physics. It helped me during my practical work. At the same time, I developed my specialty in Vector Algebra during my detailed research on Quantum Information and Computation. Also, I came in touch and worked with people from different cultures in various disciplines, Linguistics (maths), Physics, bio...science majors , bio chem.....*** and others. It has taught me to work in a team. And made be able and willing to help in the guidance of BSc , MSc-, and fellow students.
I am adept at Programming in C++. Matlab and Mathematica for project on Quantum Discord, a collaborative work between my senior and my professor. My efficiency in programming played an important role in the overall progress of the work. It helped me assist in the teaching programmes. A program I created dealt with finding a Hypersurface in four dimensions as a family of solution to equations in five dimensions and in turn minimise a function among all those points in the least possible time. Developing New Programs and Learning New Softwares have fuelled my expertise in Programming and occupied the most part of my undivided attention to my work and research. I am comfortable in sourcing and handling data electronically.
My work experience in various climatic regions, as well as in a varied cultural and language environment, allowed me to define an area of my future research. I recognized that via microstructure investigations I want to obtain a physical basis for a flow law for ice. Your vacancy offers a stimulating interdisciplinary concept, in which I will have the opportunity to pursue my area of interest as a scientist: to investigate ice microstructures in ice core samples by means of various microstructure analysis techniques, and to improve my understanding of dynamic processes of polar ice sheets with respect to prognosis of sea level evolution. The PhD in Utrecht Uni. will allow me to collaborate with highly qualified scientists and to do my research totally in English. It will also provide me with the possibility to participate in Arctic and/or Antarctic glaciological expeditions which will indeed be a new door to extensive research. The information about Utrecht Uni. that I got on presentation day in ****IEFT exhibition in Ankara, 17/10/2010, helped me to make final decision about applying for this vacancy.
I would be grateful for your consideration of my candidacy for this position.
Yours sincerely, Rinki Nandi
