Dr, Nishan Dharmaweera obtained his B. Eng. Degree in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering with a First Class Honors in September 2009 from Monash University Australia. After finishing the undergraduate studies, he went on to continue his postgraduate studies at the same university. He obtained his PhD degree in the field of telecommunications engineering in 2014. After completing his post graduate studies, he joined the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, as a Postdoctoral Researcher in January 2015. Then in October 2016, he joined as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, USJ.
