for high school builders

Reach Out.Out.

Visual outreach and matching engine for high school researchers. Connect with professors and labs with precision.

How It Works

01

Describe Your Work

Write up your engineering projects - robotics builds, ML models, IoT rigs. Any hands-on technical work that shows what you can do.

02

Match to Labs

We score your projects against recent papers from local university labs. Find professors whose work actually connects to yours.

03

Draft the Email

Get a citation-anchored cold email that references the professor's specific paper, grounded in your project work. Low friction, high signal.

Subject: Real-time LiDAR segmentation on embedded platforms - undergrad research

Dear Professor Chen,

I read your IEEE TPAMI paper on range-aware point cloud segmentation with interest - particularly the SparseConv3D approach you used to handle variable-density LiDAR data. I have been working on a similar problem from the embedded side.

Over the past six months I built a real-time LiDAR obstacle detection pipeline for a campus autonomous go-kart project. The system runs on a Jetson Nano at 15 FPS using a custom downsampled PointNet++ variant. One challenge I hit was balancing inference speed against recall on distant points in the "range-view" projection - your paper's distance-adaptive kernel directly addresses that trade-off. I implemented a simplified version of it and saw a 12% mIoU improvement at 20m+ while staying under 30ms per frame.

I am applying to summer research positions and would love to discuss how my work might fit into your group's ongoing research on efficient perception. Would you have 10 minutes for a quick call in the next couple weeks?

Best,
Aiden Park
