About
I am a Sensor Fusion and Navigation Engineer at Keafott. My work here involves working with state-of-the-art high-performance inertial navigation sensors, and their sensor fusion algorithms.
Before that, I was a Robotics and Control Engineer working on UAVs at American Robotics. My work here involves mainly with improving the vision-based landing system of the American Robotics UAV system, “Scout”.
I earned my PhD at The George Washington University, and I worked at the Flight Dynamics and Control Lab. My research there involved developing UAV controllers and estimators, and hardware/software systems, that are capable of handling ocean environments. My dissertation was titled Geometric Control and Estimation for Autonomous UAVs in Ocean Environments.
I received my master’s degree at the George Washington University in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, specializing in robotics and control, before starting the PhD program. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.
In my free time, I like to wander around.
