AI-Driven Approach to Identifying the Ideal Time-Frame to Contact Professors for Funded Positions and Research Collaborations ( Data Thread)
I know this topic might sound silly at first, but if you're applying abroad and looking for scholarships, it’s not obscure at all. For many students, getting a reply from the professors they aspire to work with is a dream come true!
I believe that problems lead to solutions, and I genuinely want to dive deep into this topic and extract meaningful insights.
Of course, there are some challenges to consider:
The Big Dataset! I believe students who are reaching out to professors can help contribute to this research. Here’s a Google Sheet: https://shorturl.at/5kQEM where you can share your data—it’s not a Google Form because people tend to skip those! It’ll take less than a minute to share your info with us.Time Zone Considerations: The second column in our dataset is the country, but if we can make equivalent assumptions based on daytime hours, this shouldn’t be an issue. What’s your take on this?Collecting Data from Professors: While this isn’t a groundbreaking problem to solve, it matters a lot to students. If any professor is willing to share their schedule or thoughts on this topic, we would wholeheartedly welcome their input. Sheet 2 if for respected Professors - https://shorturl.at/5kQEMThank you so much for reading this far! Cheers!! 🚀
