Dear Dr. Alejandro Vital

I am applying for Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering at Dalhousie University. With a deep passion for
research and a strong academic background in the field, I am confident that I possess the skills and
dedication necessary to make valuable contributions to the ongoing research endeavors at your
esteemed institution.

I have completed my first degree and Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and management
from Ambo University and have consistently demonstrated exceptional performance throughout
my academic career. I love industrial engineering and believe that applications of industrial
engineering have the capacity to solve the grand challenges of our world. My coursework has
provided me with a solid foundation in areas such as total quality management, operations
research, data analytics, and supply chain management. I also have a graduate certificate by
Building Electrical Installation level three form Ambo Poly Technique College. I have also had the
opportunity to gain practical experience through internships and research projects, where I applied
theoretical concepts to real-world industrial scenarios. During my Master's program, my research
focused on effect total quality management on shoe manufacturing industries in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia.

Enclosed with this letter, you will find my curriculum vitae, academic transcripts, and letters of
recommendation from my professors and department of industrial engineering of Ambo university.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and research interests in more
detail. I kindly request your consideration of my application for admission to the Ph.D. program
in Industrial Engineering at Dalhousie University. Thank you for considering my application. I
look forward to the possibility of joining Dalhousie University and contributing to its research
