Respected Sir, I have received admission letter from University of Cincinnati. I have carefully gone through the graduate bulletin & also though the website of college & the dept of Material Science & Engg. As I am working on Modelling & Simulation of Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE) reactor, I feel that this is a really great opportunity for me to develop my career in Material Science & Engg. Sir, it is difficult for me to make arrangements for the living, Health Insurance & ITIE Fees. I would be very grateful to you & the University if you can make some arrangements for assisting me financially, through RA/TA, scholarship,etc. I would like to know the ongoing research projects under you. Thanking you in advance & hoping a positive reply, Yours sincerely, Siddharth V. Patwardhan. E-1, Nirant Colony, Bibwewadi, Pune-411037, India.
