“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist, and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.”
John Steinbeck
Isuru received his B.Sc. degree in Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, in 2011, and his Ph.D.
degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, in 2016. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Computer Engineering at the University of Peradeniya. He has a keen interest in
