Assistant Professor
Virginia Tech | Computer Science
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 2025. 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 was part of the PurPL group at Purdue University. I earned my Bachelor’s in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering from UoM, Sri Lanka.
