Dear Prof. *,

It's pleasure for me to make acquaintance of you. I am writing this message to look for any opportunities for visiting PhD student. Your advices or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a second year PhD candidate from GIS National Engineering Laboratory majored in Pedestrian Navigation Theory and Application, supervised by Prof. **, Agent-based traffic simulation is my direction of as a graduate students. I have known learned about you since I took after taking part in the application for a research project on “**” which was supported by the NSFC. During that period, I read your papers, “High-resolution space–time processes for agents at the built–human interface of urban earthquakes” and “Geographic automata systems” published in International Journal of Geographic Information Science, from which I was inspired me a lot.

Currently, my research involves : (1)**; (2) An Mobile Sensor Model of Qualitative Spatial direction-discovery; and (3) Crowd-source road network data fusion.

I am very interested in the field of Agent-Based Geosimulation, and longing to continue my study in this direction. Since you are a well known specialist in this field, I believe that it will be very helpful to my academic career if I have the chance to continue my research work under your advice. I believe my former education and research experiences, which match your research direction closely, have prepared me a well as a candidate for a further research with you and under your supervision.

The programme I applied is a joint-supervision PhD programme supported by China Scholarship Council (CSC). The study duration is from Aug, 2015 to Apr, 2015. I have to complete my doctoral degree at my school, and I’m not allowed to acquire it at University of M.
