안녕하세요
저는 현재 연세대학교 신소재공학과에 재학중이고
2011년 2월 졸업예정자입니다.
전기화학분야와 그 중에서도 연료전지에 관심을 가지고 있어서
성영은 교수님의 연구실에 진학하고자 합니다.
교수님 또는 연구실 분들께 상담을 받고 싶습니다.
어떤 방식으로 연락해야되는지 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다.

Dear,

I am student at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. I would like to ask for a permission to use the image from this website concerning electrochromic device. I would like to use it for the purpose of my master thesis on topic electrolytes for electrochromic devices.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Zarko Jovanov

I am Gurpreet Singh from India. I have submitted my Ph.D. Thesis on "Investigations on Cathode Materials for Lithium Ion Battery". I am despirately looking for a suitable research position in materials science and related fields.
If you kindly have any place for me to work and kindly give me a chance to show my capabilities in any part of work, I hope my hard work and sincerity would not disappoint you. I would be highly obliged and thankful to you if you can go through my cover letter, curriculum vitae, and give me a chance to work with you.

Sincerely,
