Paper Pilot with Dr. Farouk

Welcome aboard Paper Pilot with Dr. Farouk ✈️

I’m Dr. Farouk, a postdoctoral researcher with a PhD in Civil Engineering. I created Paper Pilot because I genuinely enjoy helping researchers, especially new Master’s and PhD students.

Here I share practical tips on thesis writing, literature reviews, research gaps, Scopus, Mendeley, AI for research, academic writing, and publishing.

My goal is simple: make research easier to understand and easier to do.

I’m still growing in my own academic journey too. My dream is to become a leading scientist and researcher, and I hope Paper Pilot can be a place where we learn and improve together.
