About Me

Profile Photo

I am a Computer Science PhD student in the Computational Imaging Lab at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Kristina Monakhova. My research focuses on computational imaging and the intersection of optics and machine learning. I received my BSc in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Moratuwa in 2022, after which I worked as a postbaccalaureate research fellow at the Center for Advanced Imaging at Harvard University. I also enjoy astrophotography and capturing deep-sky objects.
