I’m Saraswathy, currently pursuing an Industrial PhD at the University of Genoa in collaboration with BeDimensional. I previously worked for ICDD and have completed my Master’s in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology from Politecnico di Milano. Having gone through the entire journey myself — from applying abroad, handling rejections, securing admits, and now working in an industrial PhD setup — I understand what actually works (and what doesn’t). I help students with: 1. Shortlisting universities & programs in Europe 2. PhD application strategy (emails, professor outreach, CV, SOP) 3. Resume and profile improvement for EU roles 4. Understanding industrial vs academic PhDs
