Beeshanga A. Jayawickrama received his Bachelor degree in Telecommunications Engineering and his PhD in Electronic Engineering (Wireless Communications) from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, in 2011 and 2015, respectively. He currently works as a Senior Lecturer and the Data Science Engineering Course Director in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney (UTS). He also serves as a Senior Member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Prior to that, he worked in Ericsson, Sweden, where he researched on 5G New Radio (NR) receiver algorithms, and some of his inventions are widely used in Ericsson 5G base stations and submitted as 3GPP RAN1 contributions. His research interests include 5G/6G physical-layer signal-processing algorithms, machine learning techniques for physical-layer signal processing, ultra-reliable low-latency communications, non-terrestrial networks, compressed sensing (sub-Nyquist sampling), and spectrum sharing.
