Sri Krishnan joined Ryerson University in July 1999, and is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since July 2011, he is an Associate Dean (Research, Development and External Partnerships) for the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science. He is also the Co-Director of the Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology (iBEST) and an Affiliate Scientist at the Keenan Research Centre in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto.

Since January 2002 Sri Krishnan held various administrative leadership positions in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science. In 2010-2011, Sri Krishnan held Visiting Appointments in University of Rennes 1 (France), Grenoble Institute of Technology (France) and Indian Institute of Technology (Madras). Sri Krishnan is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario, and is a Senior Member of IEEE (EMBS and SP societies). He was the Founding Chair (2005-2015) of IEEE Signal Processing Society, Toronto Section and Region 7 (Canada), and a Founding Member of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, Toronto Section. He currently serves as a Technical Committee Member (Biomedical Signal Processing) of IEEE EMBS.

Sri Krishnan held the Canada Research Chair position (2007-2017) in Biomedical Signal Analysis. Sri Krishnan has successfully supervised/trained 10 Post-doc fellows, 10 PhD, 30 Masters (thesis), 9 Masters (project), 42 RAs and 20 Visiting RAs. Sri Krishnan's research interests include adaptive signal representations and analysis and their applications in biomedicine, multimedia (audio), and biometrics. He has published 310 papers in refereed journals and conferences, filed 12 invention disclosures and has one US patent. He has presented keynote/plenary/invited talks in more than 35 international conferences and workshops. Sri Krishnan also serves as a reviewer, committee member, and chair for many international conferences, journals, and granting bodies. Sri Krishnan's academic interests include (interdisciplinary) curriculum design, experiential learning, and innovation.
