Obtained a Bachelor of Science degree with a First Class from the Open University of Sri Lanka. Offered Pure Mathematics ,Applied Mathematics and Physics. Later read for a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Open University of Sri Lanka.  For the post graduate degree a computer based learning system for Mathematics was developed. For the development of the system, expert systems in (AI) and learning theories of education were used.  At present involved in a research project to developed a personalized learning system using Learning Analytics and learning theories of Education.
