For UC Berkeley Applicants - Pls help me understand.

[Sury]

Hello folks,

I am completing my application for a PhD program at UC Berkeley and I would like to clarify one thing. There is a tab for the faculty and research interests and I am wondering how I should formulate the text?

I made it a short text explaining briefly my research interests and who interests me. I was wondering if I should mention a particular work of that professor? Should I extend it more on why I would like to work with a specific professor or more on my research interests?

Thanks
