I participated in the Guided Research Program at Kuhiro, and the experience was outstanding. Although the program was initially planned for few months, our research extended significantly, and Aditi Palit supported me throughout the entire journey.

Aditi played a key mentorship role — helping shape the research direction, guiding literature exploration, and providing valuable insights whenever challenges arose. While I handled the implementation, experimentation, and coding, her guidance and continuous feedback were instrumental in strengthening the work.

Her dedication truly stood out, especially during submission deadlines where she stayed late, adjusted her schedule, and ensured our paper reached high quality. I’m genuinely grateful to Kuhiro and Aditi for their support. This program significantly improved my research skills and confidence, and I highly recommend it.
