Pretty sure your adviser should have seen your thesis before submission so if he did not like the layout, the flow, and the style then he would have told you - n'est-ce pas?

Great advice on maintaining a professional tone when emailing professors. If you are sending out tons of cold emails, Mystrika is automatic bounce detection and comprehensive analytics can really streamline your process. It is been super effective for me.

Professor do I need to study your publications its hard to comprehend everything since my background knowledge is not sufficient to understand all of the stuff but I wanted to do research in neurogenesis but I am not qualified enough I don't know Histopathology or immunolabling marker and its hard for me since it require novel ideas and novel methodology how you guys comes up with this stuff also I really get disappointed after studying professor work he ghost me
No you do not have to study all the publications from your future PhD supervisor. That would be a gargantuan task and rather impossible as you are not at that level to study and comprehand research. However, you can try to read briefly some of his/her latest publications and what they are dealing with. What is the research question and the methodology to solve the problem. I am sorry but I cannot commend much on your knowledge and of course that will be something to discuss with your pntetial supervisor. Feel free to join the channel and book for a quick meeting with me. Best, KDT
Many thanks for watching!! Let me know if there was something in particular very helpful and of coruse if there is anything else to cover. Feel free to forward it to others in need. Much appreciated. Best wishes, KDT
Hello Professor, Your video has helped me to know the better way of writing a cold email to any potential supervisor. Please, enlighten me on this: As a prospective PhD research student, what format should your email take or what should be in the content of your email when the school you are applying to has given a proposed research topic and you are asked to contact the supervisor? Do you need to make reference to his papers, publications and recent research? Thanks. I need a reply 🙏🙏
Hello, please use the style I have mentioned on the video. In your case a semi-formal email is required. Of course always polite. For example: Subject: Prospective PhD Student: Inquiry about [Research Topic] Dear Dr or Professor Surname (chech his her affiliation), My name is XXXX and I am currently completing my ..... degree in ..... at XYZ University. I am writing to express my interest in the PhD position related to [specific research topic] that is being offered in your lab. During my studies, I have developed a strong background in .......... editing and .........., particularly through my thesis on .............. My work involved .........., which I believe aligns well with the proposed research in your lab. I have read your recent paper on the use of ............. technology in..........., and I am particularly interested in your findings on off-target effects. I am excited about the possibility of contributing to your ongoing research in this area. My research interests lie in....... and its applications in ..........., and I am eager to explore the potential of ......... technology further through your proposed project. I believe that working under your guidance would provide an excellent opportunity to achieve my academic and professional goals. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this PhD position with you in more detail. Please let me know if you are available for a meeting or if there are any additional materials you would like me to provide. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of working with you. Sincerely, XXXXXX XXXXX@email.com number ==== Key Points to Remember Be Concise: Keep your email focused and to the point. Be Professional: Use formal language and avoid slang or overly casual expressions. Be Personal: Show that you have done your research on the supervisor and their work. Be Specific: Tailor your email to the particular research topic and supervisor. Good luck with your application!
Great, very nice to know that has helped a bit! Consider watching this too if you are about to submit your thesis: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9RRiuF3AMHw.html
Thanks a lot for posting this. You have touched upon various aspects of the Viva in a very informative and useful manner. I have exactly 2 more weeks for my Viva and this helped me a lot. Thank you :)
First of all, all the best for your viva!! I am sure that if you are relaxed you will enjoy it. Be professional and take your time. Also, many thanks for watching the video! Any specific comments are always welcome. Best wishes, KDT
I have a different question. Did you work while completing your PhD? If yes, how did you manage a work, life n school balance? Were you able to qualify for grants n scholarships to cover your tuition? Thanks, Jouli
Hi Jouli! Thanks for the question. Yes indeed I was working as I was on a Part Scholarship and covering my expenses in London was difficult. I believe it is totally possible if you are fully committed and dedidated to the PhD, so work looks like a break to you. That's a great video. I will prepare one and post very very soon. Stay tuned! Best wishes, Kostas
