Why Research?
Listen to those who've discovered the transformative power of authentic research
AI for Natural Sciences group (which Dr. Samsonau organized) was my first real entry point into doing research. Instead of just absorbing information, I started thinking like a researcher to identify, break down, and solve the problems. The experience strengthened my problem-solving ability and, more importantly, ignited my interest in research, which eventually led me to a PhD path. I believe this program will be especially meaningful for high school students: as many of them have the potential to come up with creative ideas, this program will give them the opportunity to turn those ideas into concrete projects. It's a place to discover your potential and start seeing yourself as a young researcher.

Reflecting back on my experiences in high school, I remember many students joining summer research programs primarily because it looked good on a college application. For me, the memories and impact that such programs had extended far beyond those summers and even far beyond college. What made the difference was finding programs and mentors that didn't treat research as a resume item, they really did encourage self-inquiry, to ask my own questions, test my ideas, and share my discoveries. It made the research I did feel real, doable, impactful, and much more personally significant than just a summer experience to check off. Not to mention, the confidence I built, the perspectives I've formed, and the connections I made carried into college and beyond. That's why I'm excited that ARP is creating this community, it's like the kind of support system I was lucky enough to have but even more accessible. This is a place where you can connect with mentors, collaborate with peers, publish your ideas, and get recognition for your work. If you have an idea, a question, a curiosity you're exploring or wanted to explore, I believe that this is the kind of place that'd help you take it as far as you can imagine.

Dr. Sergey Samsonau was one of the foremost mentors who helped me learn how to do research and I've seen firsthand his dedication to democratizing access to research education and mentorship.
Read More →As a working professional who has been involved in research since college, I am certain this tool will accelerate the careers of many students interested in this field, primarily due to "access to guidance". It is understandably difficult for professors and teachers to dedicate time and provide personalized feedback to every student, which can leave a lot of students to feel unsupported and unsure of their ideas and themselves. That's why I think AI Research Mentor can significantly decrease this gap for anyone with even the smallest interest in research. Having a mentor who can provide guidance is extremely invaluable. While this tool won't replace professors or teachers, it can serve as a great stepping stone, where students are better equipped to approach professors or teachers, having already completed much of the foundational groundwork themselves. The tool itself is incredible but especially knowing the people behind this vision makes me very very excited for each and every student who will benefit from this.
