Travel & Experiences
Singapore 🇸🇬 (ICLR 2025)
ICLR 2025 was incredible! Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa Island, Marina Bay Sands.
Late-night walks with Mridul and Samyak discussing research. Lost my debit card but
gained unforgettable memories.
Pittsburgh 🇺🇸 (Carnegie Mellon Summer)
Amazing cultural experience! Kennywood, Millvale, Primanti Brothers sandwiches.
"My heart is in the work" - Carnegie's motto truly resonated.
Copenhagen 🇩🇰 (Research Visit)
Danish work-life balance was refreshing. Cycling through bike-friendly streets while
working on high-dimensional algorithms with Dr. Panagiotis Karras. Loved exploring
Nyhavn's colorful buildings, Tivoli Gardens, and the beautiful canals.
