What sentence is suitable for thanking a professor? I am looking for a PhD position. Sometimes professors give me information about their projects via emails. How can I thank them for their explanation in a polite way, show my interest and impress them?
Hint: professors are people too. You can thank them just like thanking anyone else. Your email may go something like this:

Dear Professor X,
Thank you for the information about your PhD project. I look forward to submitting my formal application to your department.
Best wishes,
maryam
