Curiosity drives me.
Engineering grounds me.
Request my CV
I’m Nuwantha, a research student at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and a final-year Electrical Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa.
I’m drawn to problems that connect intelligent software with the physical world: helping machines interpret video, connecting wearable data to meaningful health insights, and turning an idea into a working embedded system.
My work spans research and hands-on prototypes. I enjoy the whole process — asking the question, designing the system, building it, and learning from what happens next.
Technology for health.
Connected wearables, physiological data and practical digital-health research.
Ideas, made tangible.
Embedded systems, robotics, instrumentation and IoT — from a circuit to a connected prototype.
