Dear Professor ,

I, Aravind Pradhyumnan, am an undergraduate student from

MNM Jain Engineering College - Anna University (India) with a
major in Mechanical Engineering. I looked up your research
interests from Texas A&M faculty page and I'm exhilarated to
find my own interests in line with them.

I have completed a course in Computational Fluid Dynamics

with an 'A' grade and I am familiar with analysis using ANSYS
and Matlab. I am currently working on a paper on
Aeroelasticity - Flutter analysis in megawatt size wind
turbines, for various configurations and conditions. I am using
CFD extensively for this, and I have for past projects.
Propulsion is another favorite field of mine and I have an 'A'
grade in the UG course - Gas Dynamics and Propulsion.

I hope you don't mind me getting in touch, sir, but I'd like to
enquire if you are currently accepting graduate students. If
you are, will you be willing to talk to me a bit more?
I will be completing my under graduate studies by May 2016.
Right now, my CGPA is 7.95/10. I intend on applying for Fall
2016 to the Aerospace Engineering graduate program.

You must be busy, sir. I appreciate any time you can give me.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Aravind Pradhyumnan
