PhD cover letter

Hello every body,
I would like to applying for PhD program in civil engineering and I wrote a cover letter. Would you please give me your viewpoints and tell me how can I improve it? I will be grateful if some friends could correct it. Thanks very much.

Dear Prof. …,
I am writing for the prospective PhD position under your skilled supervision. I have recently graduated in Civil Engineering for master program from ...
My M.Sc. thesis, entitled “Research and Development of Homogenization Method for Micropile-Raft Foundation” was conducted under the tutelage of Professor …. In the main part of my thesis, a new approach with as a new formulation for homogenization has been developed. A Micropile-raft foundation has been analyzed using both direct and homogenization approaches. After comparing the results of the analysis, sufficient accuracy of homogenization approach using proposed homogenization method has been approved. Furthermore, the proposed method compare to Equivalent Pier Method (another homogenization method suggested by Polous, 1980), was more accurate in both 3D and 2D numerical software and utilizable in software based on Winkler’s model of elastic foundation. From my Master thesis, I presented three papers in national and international conferences and also my journal paper is under revision. The list of publications are available in my attached CV.
In addition to master degree thesis, I have carried out the seismic performance of earth dam, investigation of the static and seismic performance of gravity-blocked type quay wall focusing on liquefaction potential of backfill soil and overall stability of structure of the quay wall (permanent displacement and surface tilt of the deck). Alongside the academic part, I have worked in a soil laboratory as a technician which enhanced my knowledge about different laboratory and in-situ geotechnical tests. Afterwards, I have employed and worked as a supervisor engineer in Atlass Mall Project during excavation, making retaining structure and some parts of foundation construction levels.
I have studied your papers “…,”, “…” and “…” and found your research very interesting, specially, numerical result verification with physical modelling. In addition, after searching some papers about foundation on liquefiable soils, the idea of investigating the reinforced foundations (with piles or other elements) and the effect of treatment on the results, came into my mind. I can also present some detailed topics and proposals with comprehensive literature review, if you are interested in.
My research interests include liquefaction, geotechnical earthquake engineering, foundation engineering as well as seismic-soil-structure interaction. I am truly motivated for doing research and learning more in these fields. I believe that your research areas besides a strong research facilities could provide a good condition to pursue my PhD study. I was wondering if there is any chance for me to join your research group and do my PhD studies under your supervision. Attached please find my CV.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
