I am a second-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jimeng Sun. Previously, I was a joint post-baccalaureate fellow at Harvard (Wadduwage lab and SO lab) and obtained my bachelor's in biomedical engineering at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. My current research focuses on:

Previously, I was a joint post-baccalaureate fellow affiliated with the Wadduwage Lab and SO Lab at Harvard University. My current research focuses on the application of deep learning techniques for microscopy image analysis and histopathology with Dr. Dushan Wadduwage, and modeling structural ensembles that represent conformational changes of proteins with Dr. Sergey Ovchinnikov.

Prior to my time at Harvard, I pursued my bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering at ENTC, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I did my thesis project on "Interpretable Multi-Modal Sleep Monitoring System using Ear-EEG and EOG" done under collaboration with Dr. Chamira Edussooriya, Dr. Anjula De Silva and Dr. Simon Lind Kappel.

During my senior year, I worked on a Harvard-MIT collaborative research as a remote undergraduate researcher with Dr. Dushan Wadduwage, where I developed a deep learning based inverse solver reconstruct microscopy images such that 1) the developed deep learning algorithm is independent of the physics of microscopy and 2) the number of excitation patterns required for reconstruction is minimal.

Previously, I pursued my remote research internship with Dr. Sam John at University of Melbourne, Australia, where I developed a mouse retinal layer segmentation algorithm for a study on Parkinson’s disease.
