About

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. My research interests span the areas of compilers, programming languages, and high-performance computing. I am particularly interested in solving challenges arise from the irregularity in programs.

I am currently looking for motivated PhD students starting in Fall 2024. Please feel free to reach out if my work interests you.

I received my PhD from Purdue University where I was fortunate enough to advised by Milind Kulkarni. I earned my Bachelor’s in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
