University Instructor / Researcher
"Dedicated to learning, leading, and innovating for a better tomorrow"
About Me
I'm an emerging academic in Computing with a strong interdisciplinary background in Physics and Mathematics. Currently serving as a University Instructor and Researcher at the Faculty of Computing, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, I bring experience in teaching, research, and developing hardware-integrated computational systems.
I believe in creating an inclusive and inspiring learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, question, and grow. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting theory with real-world applications whether through hands-on projects, research collaborations, or practical demonstrations.
Beyond the classroom, I'm passionate about research and applying technology to solve meaningful problems, particularly in healthcare and neurodiagnostics. I've been recognized with multiple national and international awards for innovative projects that bridge academia and impact.
