Hello to all,
I'm in the situation where I wish to do PhD in computer science. I will be finishing my Master's in Operations Research next year, and I want to start contacting some professors I am interested in. I am wondering what should be mentioned in the email when approaching the professor for the first time?
Obviously I don't want it to be too long, but I don't want it too short either. What are the main points that should be covered in the email, and also how long should it be in general?
If you guys can share experience on how you find a supervisor, that would be great.
Thanks a lot!
p.s. most of the professors that I wish to contact do not have prior experience working with me
