+Dr. Scheeres,
+
+I'm currently working on finishing up my Master's Thesis. The topic will be a routine for optimizing
+Interplanetary Low-Thrust Trajectories, combining approaches for flyby optimization and low-thrust
+trajectory arc optimization. I think that your research interests would make you an ideal fit for a
+place on my committee, so I would like to ask if you have any availability to be on my committee
+this semester? Currently, I am targeting finish up sometime around March 12th, so it would probably
+be a defense in late March or early April, but I have a little room for flexibility if that doesn't
+work.
+
+If you think you may be able to sit on my committee then just let me know and I can begin the
+process of determining everyone's availabilities and finding the most appropriate defense date.
+
+Thanks!
+Connor Johnstone
