Why should the applicant be considered for a Future Research Travel Award? (Maximum 300 words)

Sumeet is an excellent candidate for this program due to his unwavering dedication and strong intellectual
curiosity. Having served as his faculty advisor and mentor for the past two years, I am pleased to endorse his
application.

During his academic journey under my guidance, Sumeet consistently displayed a remarkable aptitude and
passion for his studies. He excelled in four courses I taught, including Computer-Aided Design and Simulation,
Advanced Building Materials, Architectural Design, and Field Studies, consistently achieving outstanding grades
that attest to his hard work and commitment.

What truly distinguishes Sumeet is his insatiable analytical curiosity and profound interest in the field of Analytics,
making him a standout student, especially in Data Analytics. Additionally, his politeness and strong teamwork
skills make him a valuable asset in any academic or research environment. Therefore, I strongly recommend
selecting Sumeet for this program.
