Bio

Hi, I'm Amalinda from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. ආයුබෝවන්! (āyubōwan!)- Wishes you a long and prosperous life in Sinhalese.
I am fortunate to be a PhD student advised by Professor. Mo Li of Nanyang Technological University. Formerly, I was a Visiting Lecturer at UoVT and an Assistant Lecturer at SLIIT. I'm a also an elected member of The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES), the Singapore signatory to the Washington Accord.

Research

I believe novelty resides within simplicity. Central to my interests is Wireless Communication. Specifically, physical layer tricks that enhance the co-existance & fairness of LPWANs. My current work is focused on bringing improvements to LoRa— a low-power LOng RAnge communication protocol for the Internet of Things. In addition, my interests also span across several closely related fields. These revolve around unconventional wireless transceivers that do interesting things.
