Personal Profile
I joined the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ in January 2002 as an Assistant Professor and also as the C-CORE Junior Chair in intelligent systems. I received my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Then I obtained a master's degree in Computer Integrated Manufacturing from Loughborough University of Technology, UK, England and a doctoral degree in Intelligent Control from ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University, Canada. My doctoral study focused on development of an intelligent control scheme for process control in micro gravity experiments.
After finishing the graduate work at MUN, I joined C-CORE as a full time research engineer in Intelligent Systems where I was involved with several applied research projects related to automation in underground mining. In January 2001, I joined the Mechanical Engineering Department of Queen's University as a Postdoctoral Fellow while supported by an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship. During this period, I carried out research in the area of parallel manipulators. My current research is in the Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISLAB) at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University. My main research areas are, intelligent control, robotics and machine vision.
