A brief profile of my academic path, research direction, recognitions, and service work.
I'm Lakshan Madhushanka, an Electrical and Electronic Engineer turned Lecturer in Computer Engineering with a deep passion for Computer Vision, Biomedical Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Intelligent Systems. I graduated from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya, where I specialized in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Currently, I serve as a Lecturer at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, where I contribute to research at the Advanced Imaging and Artificial Intelligence (AIAI) Lab and the AI and Biomedical Engineering Research Group, focusing on explainable AI, medical imaging, histopathology, OCT imaging, biomedical decision support, and assistive technologies.
My recent research includes deep learning-based classification and segmentation of oral squamous cell carcinoma, OCT-based plant disease detection with explainable AI, PredictGL for glycemic load prediction, human motion biomechanics, multi-camera vehicle tracking, and ROS-based assistive robotics.
My work has been nationally recognized with awards including the Silver Medal from the Sri Lanka Inventors Commission, the Eng. E.W. Karunarathna Award from the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka, the W.P. Jayasekara Prize for the best undergraduate project in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the Prof. Suhada Jayasuriya Scholarship Grant for the best Robotics and Control project.
Beyond academia, I am an active IEEE volunteer at section, regional, and global levels, having served with IEEE HTB, IEEE Region 10 SAC, and the IEEE Sri Lanka Section. I was honored as an IEEE STEM Champion in 2023 and received the IEEE Sri Lanka Section Outstanding Volunteer Award (Student Category) in 2022.
