Krishna Chemdupati

Hey! I’m Krishna (he/him), and I’m a rising junior in the VIPER program, studying EE and Physics. I come from a lot of places, but I’m originally from Vijayawada, India. Along with English, I speak Hindi, Telugu, y hablo un poco de español. At Penn, I’ve had the chance to explore a lot of different spaces: I do research on autonomous vehicles and semiconductor devices, and I love being a Teaching Assistant for CIS 1100 and ESE 1120. I’m also a Resident Advisor in Hill College House, which has been a rewarding way to support first-year students. I’m involved in numerous groups at Penn, including Aerospace Club, Climate Ventures, Sustainability Consulting, and the Energy Group to name a few. I’m a huge tennis fan, and I never miss an F1 race (Forza Ferrari 😭). I love playing card games, going to reading terminal market, and of course, playing tennis! Starting out at Penn can feel like a whirlwind, but I’m here to help you feel grounded, supported, and excited for what’s ahead 😀
