I must say your application has extraordinary weightage.
You must apply and I am 95% certain you shall get through fairly easily.

Also check if your experience is >5 years to try for Talent instead if Promise since I think you could get through Talent fairly certainly as well.

Best wishes and keep up the hard work in your career.

I think you have a solid application. I think you should consider using your conference speaking event in the mandatory criteria, this is a major criteria for evidencing leadership.

For OC4, it might be worth including a reference letter from a recognised academic expert that endorses your research if you’re not using a top-tier peer-reviewed journal

Hello,

Thank you for your positive feedback.

I applied as promised because I have less than 5 years experience.

Thank you very much.

Hello Francisca,

I will do that. Thank you.

Hello May,

The paper is accepted by IEEE journal. It’s a top peer reviewed journal and my supervisor also referenced it.

What do you think?

If it doesn’t have significant citation you can consider adding a reference letter from an academic expert. Is this a PhD supervisor?

I have a letter from my supervisor and it has been cited 24 times on IEEE. I am not sure it that is significant but I also included the ml solution I am building based on the research
