About

"If you want to do something, the only way to do it- is to do it."

 

Srikanth is a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University. His interests, passion, and skills are in AI and Animal Welfare, which he introduced himself to mainly through outside classroom projects, hackathons, and by working with his friends. He feels that this non-bookish introduction to these fields is what made him all the more engrossed in these subjects, and also built this applied research mindset with which he now approaches and selects projects.

Over the past few years, Srikanth has been big on Animal Welfare and has also turned Vegan for the greater part. Along with some of his buddies, he organized regular animal feeding drives when he noticed that most of the stray dogs, cats, cows, around the city feed on garbage and plastics even! Small initiatives like this, which included volunteering activities on the weekends, led to him Co-Founding an Animal Welfare Organization called Ground-Animal Welfare that focuses on awareness campaigns, volunteering activities, and technical projects too. 

​

A few things that interest him other than talking about himself in the third person are sports, debating, hackathons, and entrepreneurship stories. Badminton and Football are sports he keeps in touch with, and is a diehard Barca and Messi fan! His latest interests are in Foundation models and bio/chem informatics.
