From Previous Cohorts

Dr. Hindi’s workshop transformed how our students approach literature reviews. The AI-integrated methods and practical frameworks were exactly what they needed to conduct higher-quality reviews in less time.

Ms Raghad Sweity - Medical Student

I invited Ali to give a literature review masterclass at Sunway University, and it was fantastic. Ali’s energy and hands-on exercises were unmatched, and they really helped our medical students understand how to systematically conduct a literature review.

Prof Long Ming- Deputy Dean

I started with no prior knowledge of systematic reviews and no time to figure it out alone. Ali didn't just explain the steps. He provided a clear, step-by-step framework that I could immediately apply to my own research. This practical guidance was exactly what other workshops were missing.
