Biography :

I am a graduate student at the Department of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. My advisor is Dr. G Fairhurst. I received my Bachelors degree from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (1998). Before I joined ERG (Electronics Research Group) as a Research Assistant, I worked as an Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Computer Sciences , University of Peradeniya.
