I am a highly organized and hard-working individual who desire to become an inspiring researcher contributing to meaningful innovations and mentoring future engineers.
I received my BSc. Engineering Honours degree from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, in 2019. In 2023, I received my Master of Engineering in Innovation by Design (MIbD) degree from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore, while working attached to the Robotic and Automation Research (ROAR) Lab. I worked for more than 1.5 years as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Moratuwa, and one year as a lecturer at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. I also worked as a voluntary researcher for the Bionics Lab at the University of Moratuwa. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD focusing on non-rigid 3D reconstruction while working attached to the Robotic Institute (RI) of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. For further details please refer to my Curriculum Vitae.
