Researcher Spotlight: An Interview With Kithmin Wickramasinghe

Reflections on researching as an undergraduate

Design by Rochelle Silva

As a continuation of an earlier article about sharing research experiences with undergraduates, I had a chat with another friend of mine, Kithmin, whom I got to know during my time at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.

Tell me a bit about yourself….

I have never really been sure what fits best here, so I’ll just repeat what it says on my LinkedIn :D

I am a self-motivated and passionate dynamic individual with a sound educational background and a passion for learning new concepts, technologies, new techniques in the field of innovative healthcare. I have a First Class Honours bachelor’s degree from the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, University of Moratuwa, where I specialized in Biomedical Engineering. I am quite keen on entering the field of flexible electronics and wearable technology, biomedical devices, bio-signal processing, cybernetics, and human-computer interaction. For hobbies, I can do sketching, hiking, travelling to places mentioned on the Dan Brown books, listening to music, playing basketball, or binging anime while surviving on cereal for an entire week.
