Hello Dr. Potter,

How are you?

Regarding the facilities out here,

     1. NASA Ames Research Centre, Mountain View
     2. Lawrencce Livermore National Labs, Livermore

     3. University of California, Berkeley
     4. Stanford University, Palo Alto
     5. Santa Clara University, Santa Clara
     6. San Jose State University, San Jose

These half a dozen places are all less than 30 miles radius from here.

If I could start on a topic working with you as part of my Ph.D. program
at Kent State, then doing a collaborative research with a professor or a
researcher
that you know of in any of the above mentioned places should be possible.

This should help you evaluate my work as well as increasing my overall
productivity on the research front.

Hoping to see a green light from KSU and our department allowing me to
pursue this.

Thank you very much for your time in this regard, Dr. Potter.

Sincerely,
  babu
