Why applicants choose PI Finder
Not another stale professor database — a verified, end-to-end way to find supervisors and reach out.
Real supervisors, checked live
Every professor is verified with live web search at the moment you search — confirmed to exist, currently affiliated, and reachable. No hallucinated names, no dead links, no inactive labs.
New professors, every time
Run the same field next month and you get new professors, not the same fixed list. We remember who you've already seen and surface different, genuinely-relevant supervisors each time.
SOPs & emails tailored to each professor
Generate a Statement of Purpose and a cold email built from your CV for one specific professor — grounded and specific, never a generic template you have to rewrite.
A report you can act on instantly
What takes 10–20 hours of manual hunting takes one short form and about two minutes — and you get back a structured, downloadable report ready to use as your outreach checklist.
Track every outreach in one place
Save favorites and manage your outreach — emailed, replied, interview, accepted — with follow-up reminders so you never drop a promising lead.
Your first verified search is free.
No credit card. See real, verified supervisors for your field in about two minutes.
