Dr. MWP Maduranga received his B.Sc. Eng. in Electronic Engineering from the School of
Engineering, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, in 2013. He then earned his M.Sc.
Eng. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, in
2017, and his Ph.D. from the IIC University of Technology, Kingdom of Cambodia, in 2022.
Since December 2024, Dr. Maduranga has been with the Department of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering at USJ and also serves as a Visiting Researcher at the Bangkok University Center of
Research in Optoelectronics, Communications, and Computational Systems (BU-CROCCS),
Thailand. His current research interests include wireless communication, radio-based localization
and sensing, and AI/ML-based communication systems design, with a focus on the evolution of
6G technology
