Background
Nideesh Srivatsavan leads the Athey Lab's laboratory automation, which covers both bench workflows and the reagent supply that feeds them. He built the lab's reagent-inventory tooling, a container- count stock model with a per-reagent QR-label and snapshot-sync system, and works on its agentic infrastructure. Srivatsavan ran sequencing experiments, library preparation, and validation assays for the lab's end-reason study, and wrote both of its 2026 bench notebook entries.
