111            Previously, as a <strong>Research Associate at the University of Bonn</strong>, I pioneered inverse rendering 
112            algorithms for the 3D reconstruction of transparent objects. I hold a <strong>PhD from IIT Madras</strong>, 
113            where my research focused on low-level computer vision, computational photography, and signal processing—specifically 
114            advancing coded-aperture photography and event-sensor integration for high-speed imaging.

118            My professional background is further bolstered by a <strong>Pre-doctoral Fellowship at Northwestern University</strong> 
119            and an internship at <strong>Samsung Research</strong>. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with leading 
120            researchers to solve complex vision problems, transitioning academic breakthroughs into production-ready AI solutions.
