Dear Professor

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Post-Doctoral position in Additive Manufacturing, Bio-
Materials, ceramics, composite, polymers

I have recently completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. T Sampath Kumar at Vellore Institute
of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. where my research focused on additive Manufacturing, Bio-
Materials composites for orthopaedic applications

My contributions to our research group have been invaluable, as evidenced by the publication of two
review articles, four research articles, related to the PhD work. In addition, and three articles under
review and two research articles were published in collaboration. My ability to think critically, analyse
complex data, and develop innovative research approaches is outstanding.

I am seeking a post-doctoral fellowship in this area. I am eager to contribute significantly by applying

my technical and experimental research ideas additive Manufacturing, Bio-Materials composites for
bio medical application. In this regard, I am open and eager to work under your guidance on my post-
doctoral research. I am excited about the opportunity to learn from you and collaborate on this
research. I kindly request your supervision for this exciting journey. My skills and experience would be
an asset to your research team.

I have attached my CV for your review, which provides further details about my qualifications and
research experience. Please let me know if there is an opportunity to discuss this further. I would be
grateful for the chance to explore possible contribute to your research as a postdoctoral researcher

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Girija M
