China 18 January, 2012 Professor William Lee Department of Materials Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ UK Dear Professor Lee, I am writing to inquire about the possibility of my studying and researching in your lab for twelve months as a visiting scholar. While preparing for my application to China Scholarship Council/ Since my application to China Scholarship Council has been approved, I would like to express my strong interest in joining your research group and collaborating in your scholarly work. I am a professor in School of Materials Science and Engineering, Xi ’an University of Architecture and Technology here in China, and my research interest is mainly on refractories. I got my Bachelor s degree’ in Inorganic Non-metallic Materials in 1990 and Master ’s in the same specialty in 1993 in the same university where I have been working since 1990. Afterwards, I got my Doctor ’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Xi ’an Jiaotong University in 2005. My current research focuses on refractories and high-temperature ceramic and I am proceeding with my research program. However, due to the restricted condition in experiment, finance and limited personal experience, I would like to find an opportunity to go abroad for further study and research. Your researches are of particular interest to me, especially in corrosion resistance of refractories and use of phase diagrams in studies of refractories corrosion. Your group ’ s research isinnovativeso that I believe that if given the opportunity to work under your guidance, I would be able to share your enlightening ideas and improve my research capacity in this field, which will greatly benefit both my personal advancement and the overall development in related research in my university.
