Shrila Esturi is a sophomore studying the computational track of Chemical Engineering. She is interested in the intersection between machine and deep learning frameworks and bacterial-powered solutions to sustainability  and global health problems. Her work in the lab is focused on optimizing simulations of interactions between different gut bacteria.

Shrila is on Caltech's cross-country and track-and-field teams, and in her free time, she loves to dance and bake vegan treats that occasionally taste good.
