I am a doctoral researcher at University of Oulu, Finland, pursuing my PhD in Communications Engineering. My research interests lie in the intersection of Security Engineering and Machine Learning, namely Multi-Objective Optimization, Reinforcement Learning and Decentralized Agency. These interests unify my prior interests in privacy of decentralized federated 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, followed by several years as a researcher.
While my background is in Computer Science, I am enthusiastic about two aspects; decentralization as an avenue to provide more control to the general public and interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving. Do feel free to contact me for collaborations or if you have any questions.
