Experience

Research and teaching roles at Purdue University and the University of Peradeniya.

2022 Aug – Present Current

Graduate Research Assistant

Intelligent Imaging Lab, Purdue University · West Lafayette, IN, USA

Research on single-photon LiDAR under the JUMP 2.0 program of the Semiconductor Research Corporation, covering sensor simulation, reconstruction, and adaptive compression. My work spans theoretical resolution limits, Markov-based photon registration models, joint depth and reflectivity estimation, and scene-guided photon acquisition and sparse representation for compression, with publications at CVPR, ECCV, and ICASSP and current work under review at Optica.

2022 Aug – Present Current

Teaching Assistant

Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University · West Lafayette, IN, USA

Supported three courses across undergraduate and graduate levels: conducting TA sessions, assisting with laboratory work, and giving detailed feedback on assignments and projects. The role sharpened how I communicate technical ideas and adapt explanations to different levels of preparation.

  • ECE 20001 — Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I
  • ECE 53800 — Digital Signal Processing I
  • ECE 50024 — Machine Learning

2020 Jul – 2022 Jul

Temporary Instructor / Lecturer

Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya · Peradeniya, Sri Lanka

Demonstrated, instructed and supervised undergraduate communication laboratories, and served as teaching assistant across seven courses. I was the appointed representative for the 300-level laboratories, managing scheduling and session organisation, and supervised several undergraduate final-year projects.
