Learn AI and data-analysis tools and apply them to real research in the area you’re most excited about. You’ll work closely with a PhD mentor and team of tech experts to:

Identify a high-impact research question and refine it into a clear, testable direction
Master AI + data workflows to gather evidence, analyze results, and validate conclusions with rigor
Conduct deep, original research aimed at discovering meaningful insights—not just completing an assignment
Document your work like a real researcher: methods, experiments, results, limitations, and next steps
Write a professional-grade research paper polished to a publishable standard—ideal for college portfolios and submission to reputable international conferences

Who this is for

Students ready to go deep on a real question
Direct applicants and Bootcamp graduates (Bootcamp grads receive priority admission review and skip overlapping sessions)

Eligibility

Academic readiness: GPA 3.3+ (unweighted or closest school equivalent)
English readiness for non‑native speakers: one of TOEFL iBT 90+, IELTS 6.5+, Duolingo 115+, or CEFR B2+; if you do not have scores, submit a short writing sample and complete a brief interview

What you finish with

Research Paper, 8–20 pages, field‑appropriate structure, ready for applications and, when appropriate, submission to selective journals or conferences
Poster or oral talk (earned after a communication check)
Replication Kit in plain English (steps, materials/sources, data summaries) so others can follow your work

Publication pathway (included)

Support to prepare and submit strong papers to selective high‑school or undergraduate journals and, when warranted, peer‑reviewed international conferences (for example, IEEE field venues)

Help with venue fit, formatting, ethics and citation checks, cover letters, response‑to‑review

Up to three submission rounds

Final publication decisions are made by independent editors and reviewers

How support works

Weekly plan, pre‑check, expert session, recap, next‑step plan
Mentor team: Domain Expert, Methods Scientist, Publications Editor, Research Instructor
