About Me...

I received my Bachelor of Science in Engineering (First Class Hons.) degree from University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka in 2015. I was fortunate to be the first in the batch and won three gold medals and four outstanding student awards. Later, I joined the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, as a lecturer.

From August 2015 to August 2019, I was a PhD Candidate at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

At the moment, I'm working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the NUS-Singtel Cyber Security R&D Lab at School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS).

My research interests mainly include Software Defined Networking, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks, Mobile/Wireless Networks, Optimization Methods, Internet of Things/Vehicles, Machine Learning, Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, IC Design.
