With reference to the vacancy at The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Section of
Thermal Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark. I, XYZ, hereby applying for
the PhD Position in Ventilation Exhaust Air Heat Pumps with Low-GWP Refrigerants.
Detailed relevnt educational Background
I am a mechanical engineer with Master’s Degree (Percentage 84.75%) in Energy
Engineering that I completed in Dec. xyz from Centre of Energy Research and
Development, (CERAD) UET, Lahore, Pakistan (One of the top ranked university in
Pakistan). I completed research thesis with industrial collaboration on topic "Energy
Optimization Strategies for Rice Husk based Solid Fuel Boiler". This thermo-economic
analysis based research provided measures to increase boiler thermal efficiency by 4 %
and reduced emissions from the boiler. Based on results yearly energy saving was of
worth US $120000. A method to handle ash in environmental friendly way was proposed
and flue gas effects on Economizer tubes were also studied. I am author 6 Research
papers. These papers are on techno-economic analysis of biomass boiler (Exergy and
Energy Analysis), Assessment of Biomass as power generation fuel in Pakistan, effect of
Oxyhydrogen (HHO) gas on engine’s performance, Experimental Validation of Prandtl
Number’s Exponent in Correlation with Nusselt Number, Experimental investigation of
turbulent rotating flow in a wide gap Taylor Couette flow and Nano-fluids effect on solar
PVT system’s performance. Currently, I am working on a review paper related to pool
boiling of refrigerants. My bachelor is in Mechanical Engineering (Percentage 82%)
from same university that I completed in 20...
Relevant Experience
Presently I am working as lecturer in XYZ, Lahore, Pakistan. I have taught energy
resources, Heat and Mass transfer, Fluid Flow, HVAC and Thermodynamics courses at
bachelor level and has also supervised related labs. I am in-charge of HVAC lab and have
also successfully supervised bachelor level projects related to renewable energy
technologies and thermal-fluids. I have excellent theoretical and practical knowledge
over renewable systems and energy system optimization and design. Moreover, I
have excellent abilities of troubleshooting and implementing my knowledge practically.
Personality Traits

In addition to my academic achievements, being lecturer, I have developed strong

leadership, communication and organizational skills. My English language skills are
excellent (IELTS 7 Bands). I have professional research writing and Experimental
work expertise. Moreover, I am a persistent and flexible person with strong orientation
on goals and strong analytical skills. During my undergraduate and graduate studies. I
have always been among top 10% students of the class.
 Project Related Motivation

I am highly interested in projects related to sustainable energy or energy optimization as

survival of our generation is in Carbon neutrality. Every year millions of lives are being
lost due to the environmental crisis. Rapidly increasing population and people trend to
move towards cities have become a challenge for governments. New cities are being built
and fossil fuels are being burnt in abundance to meet the energy demand. This challenge
can be converted into an opportunity by utilizing sustainable energy resources and by
improving the efficiency of the existing systems. Hence, advanced research on
sustainable energy resources or sustainable energy systems will not only economically a
blessing but will improve our enviromenement.

Conclusive Remarks
My education, work and research experience in the field of Energy system Optimization,
Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass transfer, Thermal Analysis and Numerical simulation
are quite aligned with the intended research position and will help me implementing my
present knowledge and acquiring updated knowledge related to modern energy systems.
With my experience in labs and solid theoretical knowledge, I believe that this position
under highly qualified supervisors is ideal for me and I can work better than any other
candidate for this position. Therefore, it will be boost for my carrier and knowledge, if I
can work under the supervision of prominent teachers and scientists, within well-
equipped research facilities and in hectic academic atmosphere of your institute. You will
find me hard working and most suitable candidate for the available position.
