Great Experience!! This whole experience involved a lot of hard work but it was really fun!! I learned a lot of things not only about conducting research but also about my field of interest- finances. I met a great mentor, a great writing coach and a great program manager. The whole community was really welcoming.

Lumiere's Magic Touch My experience with Lumiere was exceptional. As it was my first time, I was amazed how smoothly the entire process unfolded. The pairing with my mentor Mr. Trevor Dean Arnold from Cornell University was outstanding as we quickly built a strong connection and this would not have been possible otherwise. The extra writing sessions proved to be greatly beneficial, providing me with valuable guidance. I cannot stress enough how much of a lifesaver the Lumiere Handbook was, it even allowed me to complete everything last minute by simply following the well-structured patterns outlined within. Overall, my experience with Lumiere exceeded my expectations, thanks to the seamless process, excellent mentorship and the invaluable resources provided.

My experience during the last fortnight What actually made my experience so advantageous is the moment of coming up with a 3d-model simulation for my research paper. Indeed, my mentor assisted me a lot to do this simulation as he was expert in finite element analysis such as MATLAB. Also, I felt happy during assessment of the provisional final paper. The more I modify in the content of the paper, the more writing skills I gain.

Hard but amazing It is a wonderful program that really cares about both the students and the educators who help run it. It's challenging, but, in my experience is a good fit for ambitious students. Not great for folks who aren't willing to put in the work though.

A Must!!! My experience at Lumiere has been amazing and I can undoubtedly quote it as one of the best experiences till now. It provides great mentor matches and flexible schedules along with several other resources that help you to elevate the quality of your project. I grew a lot under my mentor from UCL, Mr. Gbentondji's guidance, both academically and socially. Further, I was also grateful to my program manager Ms. Saumya Kalgud who helped me manage my deadlines and supported me throughout the program. At last, I am thankful to both Stephen and Dhruva for giving me this opportunity to be a part of this wonderful program.
