Dr. Swati Gupta

Tuhin Roy earned his M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Ph.D. in Structural Engineering & Mechanics from North Carolina State University in 2021, where he later served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Since 2023, he has been a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University, focusing on computational biomechanics and medical imaging. Alongside research, he is dedicated to teaching and mentoring. He has mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students, as well as guided students from underrepresented communities through international outreach programs.

Swati Gupta earned his Master and Ph.D. from IISc Bangalore. She is currently a computational biologist at Radboud University, Netherlands and from 2023 to 2025, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher at VIB-KU Leuven, Belgium. She has expertise in high throughput sequencing and omics data analysis. She has guided several masters and bachelors students. She also has several collaborations across Europe for various research projects.

Guides computer science applicants in structuring research statements that clearly demonstrate mathematical maturity and code contribution history.

Focuses on quantum physics proposals, advising candidates on how to cold-email prospective principal investigators and secure early interviews.

Clara Dupont

Dr. Kenji Sato

Sarah Jenkins

PhD Candidate in Microbiome Sciences, Pasteur

Assistant Professor in Battery Materials, Kyoto

PhD Candidate in Economics, Oxford

Reviews motivation letters for life sciences, ensuring biological hypotheses are framed with the precise academic rigor committees look for.

Provides mock interview prep and document polishing for materials science candidates targeting top-tier experimental laboratories globally.

Mentors economics applicants on structuring their writing samples and quantitative CVs to meet rigorous institutional standards.

The Standard of Rigor

Admissions committees do not look for perfect prose; they look for a clear, stress-tested research hypothesis.
