Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key phrase here is "single PDF": the first screening is about readability, not the number of files. What the supervisor really needs to see is whether your one-page research note shows immediate readiness for experimental work, especially in turbulence, optical diagnostics, MATLAB, Python, or data acquisition. Do not split your materials across multiple emails, and remember that Western's formal application only comes after the initial selection. The right move is to send a compact file focused on research fit, then prepare the reference letters and the remaining administrative steps without delay.
