Hi, I’m Sastha Srinivas!

I am a graduate researcher, pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the IIIT-Delhi, in the department of Computer Science at the Melange Lab under the guidance of Prof. Pushpendra Singh and Prof. Mohan Kumar. With 3+ years of hands-on experience, my research focuses on leveraging AI/ML with sensing to create social impact in the mental health domain.

Before diving into research, I spent two years as a Programmer Analyst at Sara’s Inc. and Unanu, leading cloud products, analytics dashboards, and ML/AI pipeline deployments that saved time and money across industries.

I hold a Master’s in Computer Systems Engineering (specializing in IoT) from Northeastern University under the guidance of Prof.Peter O’Reilly, where I also interned at Bose Corporation, developing an automated testing suite for smart home security. I was also Treasurer of the IoTConnect graduate club, promoting IoT innovation among students.

Passionate about affective computing, I work on projects that intersect AI with education, and in my downtime, you’ll find me enjoying strategy games, tabletop RPGs, or reading with cocoa in hand when I do not explore the world.
