Hello! I’m Sruthi, a Master of Science in Information Studies (MSIS) student at UT Austin, with a focus on UX Research & Human-Computer Interaction — particularly how they inform the design of equitable, evidence-based tech. By integrating psychological laws with mixed-methods research, I explore how human behavior and data shape the way we build and interact with technology.

I'd love to connect and discuss opportunities or my work!
