Current Interests


Dr. Tharaka Dissanayake is interested in biomedical electronics research and advancements in wireless technologies to manage present day challenges faced by humanity, and envisions a quality system of Engineering education for Australia.

When one in five Australians suffer from some form of disability and there is a risk of this proportion growing as the population is ageing, governments are indeed under pressure of minimizing social and economic impact of the consequences. Hence investment in technology development is a national priority. For example , engineering solutions have obviously improved medical treatment and diagnosis. Such advancements are only possible with the development of strong and talented league of engineers and technologists. It is time that we as a community lay the foundation for the future of engineering through planning and investment.
