Biography

I am a final-year PhD candidate in Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia, where I work in the Link Lab on human sensing and multimodal systems for healthcare. I earned my BSc in Computer Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.

My research brings together egocentric video and audio, wearable sensors, and machine learning to recognize human activity and support decisions in emergency medical services and robot-assisted surgery. At UVA, I have helped build EgoEMS, a multimodal dataset for EMS research, and MiDAS, a data acquisition system for robot-assisted surgery. I also worked as a Research Scientist Intern at Meta Reality Labs on 3D eye localization and tracking.
