Dr. Tharaka Dissanayake is with the School of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
of University of Newcastle, Australia. His current
research interests are in ultra-widebandantennas,
antenna diversity, and microwave imaging techniques..
Dr.Tharaka Dissanayake was
born in Matara Sri Lanka, studied at Rahula
College Matara up to G.C.E. advanced level.
He received the B.Sc.Eng. degree in electronics
and telecommunications engineering (with first-class
honors) from the University of Moratuwa, Sri
Lanka, in 2002. and the Ph.D. degree in electronics
at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia,
in 2007. From 2002 to 2003, he was an Assistant
Lecturer at the University of Moratuwa. He has
been a visiting lecturer at Kotalawala Defence
Academy and Arthur C. Clerk Centre for Modern

Dr. Tharaka Dissanayake is also a Honorary Research
Associate at the Electronics Engineering department
of Macquarie University,
Electromagnetic
(EM) engineering plays a significant role in
modern day life. Most prominent are its applications
in wireless communication. EM engineering also
has applications in life saving medical electronics
and RFID based security systems. The rapid development
of EM technology is undoubtedly assisted by
advanced modeling tools, modern fabrication
facilities and measurement systems. Moreover,
the intervention of creative thinking and boundless
imagination contribute to the progress of our
discipline. My aim is to engage in research,
related to antennas, sensors, filters, resonators,
etc., that results in overall optimization of
engineering systems.
