I am a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) graduate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Curtin University, focused on robotics and autonomous systems, particularly on developing intelligent mobile robots capable of operating in complex and unstructured environments. My previous work has included mobile robotic platforms, computer vision-based perception systems, embedded systems and hardware development for real-world applications.
My current research interests focus on developing intelligent robotic systems for real-world applications. I’m particularly interested in autonomous navigation, sensor integration, & intelligent control.
I previously worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at SCoRe Lab, University of Colombo School of Computing and as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, contributing to robotics, embedded systems, sensing technologies and applied engineering research.
As an Application Engineer at Synopsys, I contribute to semiconductor verification solutions while continuing to develop my robotics portfolio through research projects, engineering projects and publications.
