To whom it may concern:

I deem it a great pleasure to recommend XXX, an excellent young researcher in our group, for admission to the xxx Department of Stanford University. I am his graduate advisor and have known him for nearly three years, so I have the opportunity to observe closely and assess justly his work and personality. In my assessment, Mr. X is one of the best students of mine. The biggest asset of him, I think, is his outstanding intellectual potential, which is due to not only his youthful spirit, but also his excellent research ability compared with his classmates or peers, who are all much older than him.

In 1995, I heard his name when he was still an undergraduate, because of his strong ability in studying physics, though his major then was optoelectronics. It is his wish to study in the field between condensed matter physics and optoelectronics, so he learned various advanced theories in both condensed matter and optical physics, sometimes by himself. His master degree work focused on studying transport properties of mesoscopic and nanometer-scale systems. He read many references, and grasped the main points of this topic quickly. His first paper was written just two months after he reached this topic. He has made great efforts to study the electronic transport and Coulomb blockade phenomena of nanotubes and the impact of defects. His idea of “carbon-nanotube-based electronics”by setting up the analogy between toroidal nanotubes and mesoscopic rings seems valuable and may develop some current ideas.

I have noticed that Mr. X is a quite versatile young boy and has a very broad research interest. He does not pay all his attention to exams; instead, he makes more efforts to extensive study in related fields. He has done much more work than I had expected for him in one year. He had referred to nearly eighty references in his dissertation proposal, and much more in the final dissertation to be finished. He is most interested in quantum well optics and micro-cavity optics, electronic structures and optical response of novel materials, and laser technologies applied to condensed matter. He is currently carrying out research in these topics. With a good command of doing large experiments, he has engaged in many experiment topics as a research assistant in several groups. He is very interested and skilled in doing condensed matter physics experiments, where his work is in close collaboration with his theoretical efforts.

Mr. X is very assiduous, often stays up to very late in the lab, and sometimes even misses his lunch. He is able to grasp the essential concepts in physics research rather than fall into detail
