\opening{Dear Hiring Manager,}
% I am writing to express my interest in an internship position at Idaho National
% Laboratory, specifically within your automatic reactor control, microgrid and
% distributed energy, and provable nuclear cybersecurity research areas. As an NRC
% Graduate Fellow and Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of
% Pittsburgh, my research directly aligns with INL's mission to advance nuclear
% energy systems through innovative control methodologies and cybersecurity
% solutions. My planned dissertation focuses on developing formal synthesis
% methods for hybrid controllers in nuclear power applications, combining reactive
% synthesis with control theory to create autonomous systems with provable safety
% guarantees.
%
% My technical background and planned dissertation work position me well to
% contribute to INL's research thrusts. My dissertation will develop methods for
% translating operating procedures into temporal logic specifications,
% synthesizing provably correct discrete control logic, and verifying continuous
% control behavior across mode transitions. I have experience with
% hardware-in-the-loop validation on industry platforms like the Emerson Ovation
% system and work on virtualized networks for control system simulation. My
% coursework in advanced dynamics and nonlinear systems, combined with practical
% experience in embedded C/C++ and Python, provides a foundation for tackling
% problems in automatic reactor control, cybersecurity, and distributed energy
% systems.
%
% An internship at INL would provide an opportunity to advance my research while
% contributing to the laboratory's work in nuclear energy innovation. I am
% particularly excited about applying formal methods expertise to real-world
% reactor control challenges and collaborating with INL researchers to develop
% next-generation autonomous control systems.
%
% Thank you for your consideration of my application.
After this current semester, I will have completed my didactic course
requirements. Next semester, I will be be doing research credits full-time.
\closing{Best regards,}
