I am a doctoral researcher at University of Oulu, Finland, pursuing my PhD in Communications Engineering. My research interests are federated learning security, privacy of decentralized learning, distributed consensus protocols and security applications of game theory.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Security from University of Plymouth, United Kingdom in 2016, and my Master's degree in Computer Science from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka in 2021. I have worked as a Software Engineer and an Information Security Engineer in Sri Lanka, accumulating over 4 years of experience in the industry.
While my background is in Computer Science, I am quite enthusiastic about two aspects; decentralization as an avenue to provide more control to the general public and interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving. Therefore, I am quite committed to ensuring security and privacy in communications so they can be used safely, or at the very least, with well-identified, quantitative risks.
I have been an avid reader since childhood, which has greatly shaped my academic and professional careers, besides inspiring me to infuse creativity into my work. I also enjoy writing creative fiction and poetry in my leisure.
Some of my technical case studies are cataloged below. Do feel free to contact me for collaborations or if you have any questions.
