Vidya Srinivas

PhD Student @ UW CSE

Hello! I am a PhD student at the University of Washington advised by Prof. Shwetak Patel as a part of the Ubicomp Lab.

My research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction, systems, and intelligence, with primary application areas being speech/conversational AI and AI for health.

I previously obtained my bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from the University of Michigan ECE, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Robert Dick on embedded systems and resource-constrained ML.
