I am trying to get a research internship at universities, but I am not smart enough to understand the research papers over topics like biology and CS 😭 😭 😭

The main psychology behind landing a research internship from cold emailing a professor is to mention their work. Boost their pride by showing you know and have read their work.

But the hardest part is just that… I can’t understand the weird math symbols nor some of the concepts 😭

That’s why I am creating ResearchBase, an application that uses a RAG pipeline + highly specific prompt engineering so that you don’t have to go to Gemini or Chat and have multiple attempts in trying to get the answer you want.

UPDATES===========================

• Created an Electron JS application
