Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to write on behalf of Ivan I. Ivanov who asked me
to recommend him for admission to Florida State University.
Ivan has been working under my supervision over the last year and
was the student attending my lectures on course XX in Fall, XX. He
is currently a X year student of the Mendeleev University of
Chemical Technology. The University is one of the best, largest and
oldest academic institutions for Chemistry in Russia. Since January
XX, Ivan is undertaking a graduation paper under my guidance. His
work in the Laboratory of XX covers that part of Physical Chemistry
which is basically related to Surface Chemistry.
In our research he deals with such important direction in Chemistry
as the research of XX. During this work he gained valuable
experience working with equipment of electron microscopy and X-ray
analysis. I should emphasize here that he is very accurate and
diligent in his experimental work as well as in treating the
results. Ivan evolved as a dependable, intelligent, erudite,
emotionally stable person who is able to generate new ideas, to find
untraditional solutions, and I can add that it would not be an
exaggeration, if I describe him quite assertive and sophisticated. I
have no doubt that Ivan would be a good instructor thanks to his
accuracy and clearance in oral expression. Also, he has a good
attitude and capable of working in a group as well as acting
independently. I can say that he is the best student among the ones
I had supervised for the last years.
In addition, Ivan has very good knowledge of the English language
because for the most part he uses English-written materials
(e-libraries, data bases, articles from foreign magazines, etc.) as
theoretical support for our investigations.
Seeing his serious yearning for further education, persistence and
striving for purpose, I think that he will realize his huge
potential and inevitably obtain excellent results in his future
scientific career. I also believe that it will be very beneficial
for both Florida State University and Ivan to continue his education
in your graduate program. Thus I strongly recommend him for
admission.
Sincerely,
P.P. Petrov
