About

K. Srividya is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of healthcare technology and infection prevention. Her most prominent contribution addresses the urgent need for automated, contactless disinfection, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her highly cited 2021 paper, "Infection Prevention and Control using UV-Disinfectant Bot for COVID," details the development of a robotic system that uses ultraviolet light to sterilize hospital environments. This work directly tackles the dual challenges of preventing healthcare-associated infections and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global threat. By engineering a practical, autonomous solution for high-risk areas, Srividya’s research offers a tangible tool to enhance patient safety and the quality of healthcare facilities. With 9 citations, this paper has resonated strongly with the scientific community, serving as a foundational reference for subsequent work in robotic disinfection and IPC protocols. Her focus on real-world, deployable technology positions her as a key contributor to the future of safe, automated healthcare environments.
