About Me

Hello there! I’m Sastha Srinivasan. A PhD student in the Center of Excellence in Human-Centered Computing and the Department of Computer Science at IIIT-Delhi, co-advised by 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 proactive health and wellbeing. I have previously worked 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. Passionate about affective computing, I also work on side 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.

Research Interests

Wearables: Different modalities for sustainable proactive monitoring.
AI/LLMs: Exploring new ways to fill gaps in public health information.
RAI: Responsible AI for social impact through sustainability.
