Cover Letter

Dear Dr. Jie Shen,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Research Assistant position within the Shen
Research Group at NTU, Singapore. With a solid foundation in physics and materials science,
combined with my research experience in advanced materials and plasma-based systems, I am
eager to contribute to your groundbreaking work on channels, nanofluidics, and membrane
materials for sustainable technologies.

I hold a master’s degree in Applied Physics and working as a Research Assistant at the Laser and
Optronic Center, University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore. My research focuses
on the design and fabrication of plasma setups for material modification, with particular
emphasis on the interaction between plasma and materials for catalytic and energy
applications. My experience has allowed me to publish two research papers, including one on
the plasma-assisted growth of 2D hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets. These efforts
demonstrate my ability to work at the intersection of materials science, energy-efficient
processes, and sustainability, which aligns closely with the Shen Research Group’s objectives.

Your focus on developing advanced channel materials for energy-efficient separation, ionic
sieving, and clean water production deeply resonates with my interests in exploring innovative
solutions to global challenges. I am particularly intrigued by your vision of leveraging channels
and membranes as versatile platforms for interdisciplinary innovations in catalysis, batteries,
and bioelectronics. My experience with plasma-based fabrication and material characterization
techniques will be valuable in contributing to your ongoing and future projects.

Furthermore, I am motivated to enhance my skills in nanofluidics and membrane technologies,


and I am confident that my hands-on experience in experimental setups and analytical
techniques will allow me to make meaningful contributions to your group. The opportunity to
collaborate with the Shen Research Group at NTU, a world-renowned institution, presents an
excellent platform for me to further develop as a researcher while contributing to cutting-edge
advancements in energy and environmental sustainability.

I am currently residing in Singapore and am available for an interview at your convenience.


Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to the
impactful research efforts of the Shen Research Group.

Best regards,

Muhammad Mudassar

University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan
