Biography
I'm a 1st year Ph.D. Student at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and a Research Assistant in Social Computing Group at Idiap Research Institute advised by Prof. Daniel Gatica-Perez. I'm interested and experienced in using Data Science and Analytics, Machine Learning for research in areas such as Ubiquitous & Mobile Computing.
Before moving to Switzerland, I worked as a Research Engineer at Ubiquitous & Mobile Computing Group at SMU-CMU Living Analytics Research Centre, School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University, Singapore advised by Prof. Archan Misra.
I got my BSc in Engineering (Computer Science and Engineering) with a 1st class from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
