About Me

I am a 2nd year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science, reading my PhD in High Performance Computing. I am supervised by Prof. Gihan Mudalige and Assoc. Prof. Suhaib Fahmy.

Prior to my PhD studies, I worked as a senior hardware accelerated engineer for the London Stock Exchange Group Technology (LSEG Technology) as a research engineer in high-performance GPU, FPGA accelerated fintech and quant computing solutions from 2019 to 2022.

I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Hons) degree in 2019 from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka and worked as a research intern in the Augmented Human Lab, SUTD, Singapore under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Suranga Nanayakara in 2017.

Research

My research work is on the source-to-source code translation to a High-Level-Synthesis(HLS) based Field Programmable Array (FPGA) language from a Domain-Specific Language (DSL). Currently, I am focusing on OPS-DSL, a domain-specific language that supports multigrid structured mesh stencil computations and source-to-source code translation techniques to HLS and optimization.
