Dear Prof. ****:
I am a student from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I have just got my Master of Science Degree in Telecommunication in Jun 2009. I am very interested in biomedical engineering research and thirst for working in this area. I applied the PhD program in electronic engineering, CUHK, with focus on biomedical engineering. But it is still in processing. I plan to apply again next semester if the application is not successful this year. My previous personal statement is attached. However, the biggest problem I met is that I do not have much research experience in this area and hence my research plan maybe not perfect. Could you please give me some suggestions about how to prepare a good research proposal, especially, I do not have a good research environment now since I have already graduate from university.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks very much!

Hi ****:
It's very nice to hear from you and know that you are interested in applying for graduate school at CU. I just recently joined the Department (有心人已經可以猜出是哪位教授了) and will be researching on various frontiers in biomedical engineering. My interests are quite diverse, from microbiology, bioremediation, lab-on-a-chip device to biosensor development. You have got quite an impressive and substantial CV with a wide exposure to lots of fields. I am actively recruiting people into my research group and you could be one. Do apply for the Ph.D. programme again in this coming semester. I can definitely help you with the research plan. Several obvious, quick but important points are:
1) Spelling and grammar check
2) Focus on ONE field, but not a broad area
3) Make it hypothesis-driven, with goals, experimental design, expected results, and significance of your research. The plan that you wrote is more like a summary of the current technology.
So, what exactly are you interested in? Would you like to work on any of my fields? You can check out my website, which is still under construction to a large extent. Feel free to call or email. I will try my best to help you with the application if there is synergy between our research interests. I always appreciate active and enthusiastic student.

Dear Prof. ****:
Thanks very much for your quick reply. I want to briefly explain my research goal/ motive and also some research ideas. This is only an unofficial chat. It will be my great honor if you can spend several minutes to read it though. My research goal is to develop some new methods to detect cancer in early stage or cure cancer in later stage. (**Some Personal Reasons**) This goal goes along with me for 5 year (that’s why I want to pursue my research in biomedical engineering). In fact, I am not sure which subject this problem belongs to Biology or chemistry? Pharmaceutical technology or biomedical engineering? I think it’s an interdiscipline problem. Some methods such as biomedical ultrasound, bacterial engineering, medical robot will be definitely good tools to solve these problems (a piece of new will be a good example: 首个“癌症杀手机器人” 从内部杀死癌细胞
http://www.news365.com.cn/xwzx/itxw/200804/t20080418_1838124.htm). As I known, the current treating methods of cancer suggested by doctor is “early detection and early cure”. However, there are two main problems:

1. Why there are still so many cases of cancer? Why so many patents with
cancer can not be detected earlier?
2. What can we do if lateral stage cancer was diagnosed? What can we do if the cancer cells were already spread? Just waiting for die? Obviously NO!

My answer of the first question is that, regular monitor is very expensive and also inconvenient for most people. I think engineers can do something to solve, or, at least to buffer this problem. For example, design some smart but cheap and wearable devices to monitor human body periodically. Once canceration is detected, send an alarm signal immediately. For instance, since the cancer cells divide faster than normal cells, we can measure (I think when a cell is dividing, there must be some corresponding electronic signals releasing, we can try to detect these signals) the cell division rate of a particular region (e.g., a piece of tissue), if it is higher than a pre-defined threshold, we can claim that this tissue is doubted as tumor. On the other hand, since the cancer cells can divide endlessly without differentiation, we can also measure the number of same cells (or similar cells) in that particular region. Again if the amount is larger than a pre-defined threshold, we can claim that this tissue is doubted as tumor.
I have no solution of the second question, but some new technology called cell programming may be helpful. As told in high school biology class, bacteriophage can kill bacteria, until all of the bacterial cells are destroyed. So I would like to ask, can we program the bacteriophage so that it can kill the cancer cells instead of bacterial cell? Bacteriophage will kill cancer cells until none of them are survived, whatever which part of human body they are located. So whatever the cancer cells are spread or not, they will always be killed completely. Obviously it is not an easy task. It refers to many disciplines such as biology, chemistry, electronic engineering and computer science. Cooperation between biologists, electronic engineers and computer scientists are necessary. I would like to contribute my own effort to this area. Although my biology background is limited, but I think my electronic engineering knowledge and research desire can compensate these lacks. I think for cancer disease, we should no longer defend. It’s time to declare war against cancer!
That’s the reason why I apply PhD program in Electronic Engineering (Biomedical Engineering), CUHK. By the way, the application of PhD program in CUHK will be accepted throughout the year. Whether I was encouraged to apply again in spring 2010 (the coming semester)? Additionally, my application result of fall 2009 admission is still in processing. Is there any possibility to get an offer this semester?
Thanks very much for your patience and attention!

Hi ****,
We do share some synergies in terms of research interests. The methodology that you are talking about can be categorized under drug delivery. It studies the targeted application of drugs or other therapeutic means onto cancerous or malignant tissues. It has become a huge area of study lately... I am interested in doing research related to drug delivery as well. I will check with the admissions office about the current status of your application. Will get back to you in a few days. So you are working right now but can quit anytime if you have an offer?

Dear Prof. ****:
Thanks for your emails. What is my current application status? Whether I need to submit a new PhD application? PS: As mentioned in my previous email, I have already quite my job.
Thanks very much!


On Tue, September 15, 2009 9:09 pm
Hi ****,
I have checked with the Admissions. Sorry that at this stage I can't do much since I just joined the department in July. And I have yet secured funding so I can't hire people at this moment. Here's a fellowship programme for Ph.D. study in Hong Kong.

http://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/index.html
I will help you write proposal if you are interested in applying.
I should be able to get some funding by next year and I can start hiring people. Your credentials are very competitive... sorry that I can't help you right now.
Let me know if you want to apply that Ph.D. scheme.

Dear Prof. ****:
Thanks very much for your email. I am very willing to apply the PhD program, whatever next semester (Spring 2010) or next academic year (Fall 2010). By the way, when should I apply again? At this moment or 1~ 2 months later? On the other hand, is there any research
assistant position available now? I am very willing to begin my study and research in this area right now, whatever it is a degree program or a research position.
Thanks a lot!



On Tue, September 15, 2009 10:49 pm
Hi ****
Probably have to be Fall 2010. Definitely send me your application materials in advance. I can help you review them. You should start preparing your application package and apply later this year. Research assistant is contingent on funding. The ideal way is to hire you as an RA for a few months and convert you into a Ph.D. student after going through all the admissions procedure. I would love to hire a motivated student like you, but I really don't have any funding at the moment.
That's really the challenge. So, I suggest you to apply again and I will let you know when I secure any kind of funding. How does that sound?

Dear ****:
Thanks again for your email. As mentioned in my first and second email, my research interest is to find some new ways to diagnose and cure cancer by electronic engineering methods. However, that is my long term career goal and is not necessary to be my PhD research topic. Graduated at HKUST with degrees in electronic engineering and telecommunication, I think my knowledge in biology (microbiology, astrobiology, biotechnology, and genetics), chemistry (biochemistry, organic chemistry) and medical science are limited. So I am willing to focus on these areas when pursuit PhD degree. I was convinced that combine these disciplines will also benefit my future research in cancer treatment. It would be my great honor if I can obtain a research proposal from you soon and research under your supervision. I will apply both the PhD fellowship program (from government) now and PhD program (in EE, CUHK) at the end of this year.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks very much for your attention.

Hi ****,
It's encouraging to know that you will be applying for grad school here at CU. I will send you a proposal shortly. Current I have a project related to building a swine flu oral vaccine using nanotechnology techniques. Let's see if you will be interested.

Hi ****,
This is the proposal that I talked about. Please read it and let me know your thoughts about it.
The paper on endospore will help you a bit.
Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme: http://www2.cuhk.edu.hk/gss/hkphd/
You should look into this fellowship and start preparing your application package.

Dear Prof. ****:
Thanks very much for your proposal last week. I have read it for several times and got the general idea and procedure of design this new vaccine. I have several questions on it.
1. What is the relationship between the project proposal and my postgraduate research
topic, if admitted by CU?  Is it means that PhD study can be composed by different projects?
2. It is required to submit a proposal when apply the PhD government fellowship. Can I use this proposal? Or use the idea of this proposal? Or write a complete new proposal which is totally unrelated with this one?
3. I will join a company in HK Science Park as a software engineer very noon. So I will prepare the PhD application material and finish my daily job simultaneously.  I hope that my experience in programming will benefit my feature research in CUHK.

By the way, my previous email account ***** will be terminated in November. So I will use my personal account ***** instead.

Thanks very much for your attention.

Hi ****,
(1) Usually one's PhD research area(s) can have a lot of flexibility, consisting of one single project or multiple related projects. There are no set rules and often times it is impossible to predict at the very first beginning. It is because graduate study is a dynamic process and one never knows what an experiment leads to...

(2) It's totally up to you. You can write on this proposal or any other proposals at your discretion. If you decide to work on this project, you have to write in your own words. Definitely feel free to use my proposal as a template. And either way, I can help you review the manuscript. And I think writing a proposal not only helps with the PhD government fellowship, you can also use it as your application package for your graduate study.

(3) First of all, congratulations on your offer. Programming is an integral part of biomedical engineering. Often times, one has to write codes to interface hardware and software in order to control instruments and acquire data from devices. As I said, graduate research is an on-going dynamic process, I will only provide you with guidance and big directions, the minor details and experiments are all determined by yourself. In other words, you have the say in steering your own research.

Hope it helps. And we should talk shortly to touch base again. I have a big proposal due on the 15th. I will probably hide and prepare the proposal for the time being. In the meantime, you should start preparing the graduate school application package as well as the government fellowship application. Good luck and congratulations again!

Dear Prof. ****:
Hope everything goes well in your big proposalJ
I got a cold last week and have just finished my proposal right now (attached). It’s about cell membrane permeability analysis in electroporation. It will be my great honor if you can help me review the manuscript. I did not choose the previous project proposal as the template because I am afraid I can not use ‘my own words’ to rewrite it after reading your proposal (mental set). It does not mean I am not interested in the project. I am still very interested in studying and researching on this topic.
By the way, I will submit the government PhD fellowship application very soon. But is it too early to submit a PhD program application through CUHK website?  Will it be considered as 2010 spring intake?

Thanks very much for your attention!

Dear Prof. ****:
Thanks very much for your email. The application deadline of Hong Kong Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme is approaching and I will submit the application very soon. In the ‘Research Proposal Summary’ Section, should I use my research proposal or your project proposal? If I should use my own version, it will be my great honor to get some commons and suggestions from you.

Thanks!

Hi ***,
Your proposal looks good, but you may want to work on the grammar especially towards the end.

Apart from the comments inserted in the text, there are some more here:
1) State explicitly what are the new elements you are proposing, apart from what other people have done.
2) You should use your own proposal. Mine is just a reference for you
3) Since you are applying for the graduate school in Electronic Engineering, your proposal should establish a closer link to EE. I understand that biomedical engineering / bioengineering is somewhat related to EE as well. But from the point of view of reviewers, you should make it clearer. Electroporation certainly has a lot of synergies with electronic/electrical engineering. You can talk about novel design of electroporation device. A formula or two will also be helpful in your proposal. You should also propose studying the biological effect of electric field. And try to understand the phenomenon from an engineering perspective.

Good job and let's work together closely to get it done before the deadline.

On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 9:21 PM,
Dear Prof. ****:
I have submitted the HKPFS application yesterday. Thanks very much for your support in my application period
Additionally, I have two questions, one is about neural networks and wireless communication, the other is about DNA sequence analysis.

Q1: I am doing a song recognition project and studying neural network now. I have an idea about using neural network in communication system. Can we use known transmitted/received signal pairs train a neural network? For example, a digital signal Tx=[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0] is transmitted and Rx=[0.92, 0.84, 0.95, 0.21, 0.11, -0.12, 0.3, 1.22, 0.23, 0.99, -0.13] is received. Can we use a large number of (Tx, Rx) pairs as the training data? Then the wireless channel can be modeled as the trained neural network. We can use the network to predict the new transmitted data (neural network’s output) base on new received data (neural network’s input). But I have never seen any paper talk about neural network application in wireless system. Is my idea reasonable or ridiculous?

Q2: the DNA sequence is composed by 4 kinds of deoxynucleosides. For example, a DNA sequence is CGAATCG. Then we can use 2 bits to represent one base: A=00, T=01, C=10, G=11. Then a long DNA sequence CGAATCG can be converted into a binary digital signal: x(n)=10 11 00 00 01 10 11. Currently, the digital signal processing methods (both algorithms and hardware implementation) are very mature. I think we can use some DSP methods such as FFT to find the ‘frequency domain’ information in DNA sequence.
