Science Fair & Research Mentoring

ISEF, state fairs, and independent CS or AI research projects.

I work with students on the full arc of a competitive research project: picking a topic that is novel but feasible, designing experiments, analyzing results, writing it up cleanly, and presenting it well to judges. I am a published researcher with two first-author papers in ML.

Best for high school and early-college students preparing for ISEF, state-level fairs, or building an independent CS or AI project.

What I help with

Common things students bring to sessions

  • I want to do a science fair project but cannot find a question that is novel enough.
  • My project has results but I am not sure if they are statistically meaningful.
  • I need help writing the methodology in a way judges will respect.
  • My poster and presentation feel cluttered and I do not know what to cut.
  • I want feedback on whether my project is competitive for ISEF.

How sessions work

Free 15-minute call

Tell me your course, the assignment, your deadline, and what you are stuck on. I will let you know if I can help.

Schedule your session

We pick times that work around your week. Single sessions, weekly slots, or short bursts before exams, all fine.

Walk in stuck, walk out unstuck

We work through your actual code, problem set, or concepts together until it clicks. You leave with notes you can use.

What you'll walk away with

A clear plan to finish your assignment, project, or exam prep.
Confidence in the concepts your course is actually testing.
Code you understand line by line, not just code that compiles.
A faster way to debug your own work when I'm not around.
Notes and worked examples you can come back to before the exam.
Honest feedback on what to focus on, and what to skip.
