Hi, I'm Dr. Muhammad Sajeer P, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College Dublin (Ireland) working in nanotechnology, biosensing, and single-molecule sensing. I completed a joint PhD between the University of Manchester (UK) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc Bangalore), and also gained industry experience at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK. Coming from a modest academic background in India, I successfully secured multiple prestigious international opportunities, including the Commonwealth Split-Site Fellowship, international travel grants, and fully funded research positions across Europe. Through this Topmate page, I aim to help students and early-career researchers with: ✅ Finding fully funded PhD opportunities abroad ✅ Crafting strong CVs, SOPs, cover letters, and scholarship applications ✅ Contacting professors effectively ✅ Navigating PhD interviews and fellowship applications ✅ Research careers in Europe and the UK ✅ Publishing research and building an academic profile ✅ Life as an international PhD student and researcher Over the years, I have published in journals including Nature Reviews Bioengineering, worked with leading researchers across academia and industry, mentored students, and actively support aspiring researchers through my science communication and career guidance initiatives. If you're planning a PhD abroad and would like honest, practical guidance from someone who has successfully navigated the process, I'd be happy to help.
