I obtained my Bachelors Degree (Honours) in Electrical and Information Engineering, from the University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka in 2015. Following this, I pursued my Masters Degree in Information and Communication Technology with focus on 5G Ultra-reliable communications, at the University of Agder, Norway, subsequently completing studies in 2017. In early 2018, I started my PhD at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), working on the design of a communication architecture for Microgrid protection and control. My research interests lie on the areas of 5G end-to-end netwrok slicing, Multi-RAT architectures, Software defined networking, network function virtualization, management and orchectration of networks and dependability.
