Doubt regarding commas in sentences
Could you please let me know if the following sentence constructions are correct:
1. Having interacted with LTI researchers like Mr. S P Kishore and Dr. Roni Rosenfeld, and having used a whole bunch of LTI-developed tools in my projects, I can hardly doubt the excellence of LTI in Speech and NLP research.
[Is a comma between "Dr. Roni Rosenfeld" and "and" required? ]
2. In my junior year, I attended a workshop on blah blah.
[Is a comma between "year" and "I" required?]
3. Working with Mr. XYZ, I conducted experiments on blah blah.
[Is a comma between "Mr. XYZ" and "I" required?]

1. No. I wouldn't use a comma there but it doesn't hinder understanding the sentence, it just makes the reader stop unnecessarily.
2. No. But if you like commas, it's all right.
3. Required is a strong word. I would use a comma here because Working with Mr. XYZ is a clause equivale
