Profile Summary

I, hold a PhD in Engineering Design (OptoMechatronics) from IIT Madras, supported by the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF). My research specializes in laser-assisted trace gas sensing, encompassing broadband photoacoustic spectroscopy, quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS), and hollow-core fiber-based absorption spectroscopy, with applications in environmental monitoring and human breath analysis as biomarkers. I have published in IEEE Sensors Journal, ACS Sensors, and IEEE Sensors Letters, presented at premier international conferences (CLEO, OSC, Photonics), and contributed book chapters to Springer Nature. I have received four Best Presentation Awards across international and national venues. With over ten years of research and teaching experience at IIT Madras and NIT Trichy, and hands-on expertise in optical system design, mechatronics, and instrumentation, I combine deep technical knowledge with strong research communication skills. I have also worked as an AI Trainer with Scale AI and Mercor, contributing to AI model evaluation and improvement.
