I bring the reality of scientific publishing directly to your campus, moving beyond theory to give your students and faculty actionable skills they can use immediately.

Vanakkam Vellore! This poster is from a session I conducted at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) on manuscript writing and publishing. I love engaging with faculty and students to discuss strategies for efficient writing and integrating it with their experimental work.

A great photo from my session at VIT. It only takes one researcher with great questions to make a talk truly dynamic. I enjoy being challenged by participants as it helps me refine my own understanding and improve future workshops on topics like nanotechnology and physics research writing.

A wonderful day spent at my alma mater, IFGTB, for a faculty development program. I covered topics like journal selection, avoiding predatory journals, the IMRaD format, and using AI tools. It truly felt like a homecoming, sharing knowledge where my own research journey began.

This picture was taken after a faculty development program at Karnavati University where I spoke on the research and innovation perspectives of NEP 2020. I discussed how institutions can adapt to the new policies, from becoming multidisciplinary to fostering a research-intensive environment.

In this video, I'm announcing an upcoming offline workshop at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. I explain the challenges of journal selection in today's complex academic landscape and give a preview of the topics I'll cover, including avoiding predatory journals and using AI writing assistants.

This poster is for a Winter School on Academic Writing in Mysore where I was a resource person. It's always exciting to join a panel of esteemed scholars for hands-on training with PhD students and early career researchers.

About University Workshops & Expert Talks

When I walk into a department, I do not just lecture from a slide deck. We start by deconstructing real, messy manuscripts, tackling common pain points like journal selection and IMRaD structure right there in the room, so your team walks away with tangible improvements to their current work.

I am Sowmiya. I balance my PhD journey with my life as a mom and researcher, so I know exactly where the friction points are in your academic career. I do not believe in dry, textbook lectures; I believe in sharing the messy, real-world stories that make research publishing actually stick.
