Sruti Srinidhi

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Prof. Anthony Rowe in WiseLab.My current research interests lie in the intersection of AI, human-computer interaction, and extended reality, specifically looking at developing cognitive assistant for the physical world. My work lies in multimodal machine learning and LLMs, 3D scene understanding, and natural language-driven XR program generation with focus on physical grounding and personalization. I am passionate about creating human-centered AI systems that provide contextual, spatially-aware assistance for real-world applications.

I completed my undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Human Computer Interaction.
