ABOUT ME
Welcome! I'm Neil Sriram, a senior at Scarsdale High School who likes turning math and code into things that help people (or sometimes just entertain them). As an amateur magician and an avid guitarist, I love to connect with people.
I originally built this site to share small JavaScript games I made as a kid. Over time, those projects grew into Unity games, machine learning experiments, and eventually biomedical research.
Since 2024, I’ve been working in Columbia University’s UEIL lab, modeling Blood–Brain Barrier Opening to make ultrasound-based drug delivery safer and more efficient. In 2025, I joined the Columbia's MBL lab to expand boundary-layer functionality in FEBio to quadratic meshes.
Outside the lab, I co-founded Badavas, an AI platform built to help small businesses after COVID-19. I also founded Konnekt Westchester, a charity chapter focused on mentoring youth and connecting underserved communities.
When I’m not building something new, I’m on the field with varsity soccer and New York Soccer Club, playing squash, performing magic, or writing music on guitar (fun fact: I can whistle almost any song).
