Dr. Luscombe,

I'm an incoming master's student starting in the MSE department this fall.  I would like to get involved with research, and the work your lab does with OPVs seemed interesting.  As an undergrad at NC State, I worked with Dr. O'Connor's group characterizing organic semiconductors, and it seemed like an exciting field.

I've attached a CV for you to look over.  If you have space in your group for a new student and think I'd be a good fit, I'd appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and discuss your group's work, as well as any papers or review articles you could recommend.

Thanks,
