Sriram Mandalika
MSc. Student at HPI & University of Potsdam

Hello! I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), University of Potsdam, working on computer vision and machine learning research and building products.

Prior to this, I graduated with a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai (SRM IST), supervised by Prof. Dr. Athira M. Nambiar at the Center for AI in Computer Vision, where I focused on vision models, learning methodologies, and reasoning.

My main research interests lie in computer vision and deep learning. I am particularly interested in learning methods for vision models and label-efficient (semi-supervised, unsupervised, self-supervised) approaches that can independently perform iterative self-improvement and build world models. I am always open to new ideas and collaborations in related fields. This website gives an overview of my recent research and background.

Collaboration and discussion are welcomed.
