Ajay Narayanan Sridhar

Graduate Student @ PennState

I’m a second-year graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, pursuing a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering.

Before my graduate studies, I was a data engineer at Navis for two wonderful years (2020-2022). There, I worked on machine learning applications in shipping terminal operations. I completed my Bachelor’s from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram (IIITDM Kancheepuram) in 2020.

My research interests lie in machine learning and resource-efficient AI. I want to make AI and machine learning models efficient for edge devices. I’m also keen to explore the applications of ML/DL in various domains (computer vision tasks, supply chain logistics, etc.).

I enjoy hitting the gym, cycling, and speed cycling in my free time.
