Write a letter to your potential professor about the program you choose to pursue.

Dear Professor, I am willing to apply at the University of Rochester in the biomedical engineering department as a Ph. D. candidate. I am interested in Robotics, bionics, bio-hybrid technology, AI, and areas similar to yours as well as human prosthetics. To be honest, I am particularly interested in working in bionics and human prosthetics. Because of my injury in my lower back, which has impeded me from pursuing several interesting engineering areas such as motorsports, and my hobby of gymnastics I have devoted myself to it for a very long time. From my family business of medical line, I am exposed to devices that aid in human mobility and more. A combination of business and engineering ideas influenced me to join this department. Moreover, personal experience of this injury has been a supportive boost in this path. Through papers from numerous esteemed professors from different universities, such as Prof. Joel D Burdick from Caltech, Prof. Ritu Raman from MIT, Dr. Sunil Agrawal from Columbia University, and so on, I have gained many insights in this field. From their ideas and your support, I hope to create a novel technique that aids in the locomotion of paralyzed patients. Human prosthetics that rely on a component such as myoelectric sensors and bio-hybrid technology, could be the key to engineer such devices. Therefore, I trust your Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is necessary for me to reach my goal. Furthermore, I understand from your achievements you are prolific in your sector. It would be an honor to have you as my advisor. Finally, I am mailing you to know if you were considering taking any Ph. D. candidate to research under your supervision as I am also open and flexible to work in any areas of your interest. Thank you.
