I am currently pursuing my PhD in Denmark, and I actively mentor students and early-career researchers who aim to secure fully funded PhD positions abroad, especially in Europe (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden).

Through my own journey, I have gained practical experience in:

  1. Identifying suitable PhD labs and projects
  2. Emailing professors and supervisors effectively
  3. Preparing strong academic CVs, SOPs, and research statements
  4. Understanding the European PhD system, funding, and work–life balance

On Topmate, I offer honest, structured, and practical guidance based on real experience — not generic advice. My goal is to help students avoid common mistakes and approach PhD applications with clarity and confidence.
