hi, srikar here

I’m an OSU Honors Chemical Engineering student with a minor in Semiconductor Devices.

/ about me

My journey into engineering didn't start in a classroom; it started in my garage. Whether it was mounting an 80cc engine to my bicycle just to see if I could motorize it, or buying drain cleaner from Lowe’s to utilize the sulfuric acid for a homemade wet cell battery, I’ve always been driven by the 'how' and 'why' of things.

Today, I’m a Honors Chemical Engineering student at The Ohio State University with a minor in Semiconductor Devices. I’ve traded the 2-stroke engine and DIY batteries for a focus on materials science and process engineering in order to push the frontiers of what is possible.

When I’m not in the lab, you can find me hanging out with friends, going on walks, or thinking about how much I miss the free Chipotle meals from my high school job.
