Dear
Dr
.
Mitchell
,
I
hope
this
email
finds
you
well
.
My
name
is
Alex
Chen
,
and
I
am
a
junior
majoring
in
Computer
Science
at
Stanford
University
.
I
recently
read
your
paper
on
adaptive
transformer
architectures
in
low
-
resource
settings
,
published
in
ACL
2024,
and
I
found
your
approach
to
dynamic
attention
masking
particularly
compelling
.
I
am
writing
to
inquire
whether
you
have
any
openings
for
undergraduate
research
assistants
in
your
lab
for
the
upcoming
Spring
semester
.
I
have
completed
coursework
in
Natural
Language
Processing
(
CS
224
N
)
and
Deep
Learning
(
CS
230),
and
I
have
prior
research
experience
working
with
Professor
David
Park
on
multilingual
BERT
fine
-
tuning
,
where
I
co
-
authored
a
workshop
paper
at
EMNLP
2025.
Would
you
be
available
for
a
brief
15-
minute
meeting
during
your
office
hours
next
week
to
discuss
potential
projects
and
whether
my
background
would
be
a
good
fit
for
your
group
?
I
am
happy
to
work
around
your
schedule
and
can
bring
a
copy
of
my
CV
and
the
fine
-
tuning
codebase
I
have
been
developing
.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
for
the
impactful
research
your
team
continues
to
publish
.
I
look
forward
to
the
possibility
of
contributing
to
your
lab
.
Best
regards
,
