"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."

Short Bio

I am a PhD candidate at the department of computer science, Purdue University and a Fulbright Alumnus from Sri Lanka. I am also a member of CERIAS, IEEE and ACM. My main research interests are distributed systems security and applied cryptogrphy; the exciting world of securing loosely coupled systems and application of mathematics. My advisor is Prof. Elisa Bertino. The main objective of my research is to make the (online) world a better place to everyone in general.

My thesis work is on privacy preserving access control in data dissemination scenarios using group key management techniques. I have been working on computation over encrypted data as well.

I grew up in a small village in Galle, Sri Lanka [stats]. After attending a few schools, I finally settled at St. Aloysius College, Galle. I did my undergraduate degree at University of Moratuwa.
