Dr. Zhao has passed me your cv and copies of papers and you
are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. at our Centre. I am happy to
say we are interested in your application and I am optimistic
we will be able to offer you a scholarship by 2005 although
I must let you know that this cannot be guaranteed 100% at this
point in time. To avoid delays and given the liklihood we will be
able to offer you a scholarship starting in 2005, we would like to
invite you to commence supercomputer research for a period of 10
months with application to hot energy as well as aaa modelling.
During this period, we will pay you a living allowance equivalent
to a Ph.D. scholarship for living costs. In addition, we will
provide an airfare for you and your wife.
Please let me know if you will accept this visiting offer and CC to
Trent Buroz (Buroz@aaa.edu.au) who would make the necessary
arrangements and to Dr.Zhao who will co-supervise your work here.
Note that I have not had an opportunity to investigate
administrative issues so until this is done, the offer
is subject to administrative and visa issues being resolvable.
Dr.Zhao can provide additional information on the research topic
should you require it.
