I joined the Faculty of Engineering Technology at The Open University of Sri Lanka in June 2012 as a Lecturer (Probationary) and now serving as a Senior Lecturer GI.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in 2004. Then I obtained a master’s degree (M.Eng) in Information and Communication Technologies from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand in 2007. My study focused on developing a precoding scheme for a MIMO Keyhole Channel. Then I worked as a graduate assistant at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. Then I joined The Open University of Sri Lanka as a Temporary Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
