Doctor of Philosophy (Queensland University of Technology)
Dr Harshala Gammulle is a Research Fellow in the Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence, and Vision Technologies (SAIVT) research program in the school of Electrical Engineering and Robotics at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). She obtained her BSc (Honours) from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, and her PhD from QUT, Australia. During her PhD, Harshala proposed machine learning techniques for understanding human behaviour in videos and received the QUT Executive Dean's Commendation for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award, for her thesis contributions. Her research to date has resulted in significant contributions to a diverse set of application domains including, security surveillance, sports, human-robot interaction and biomedical research. Since the completion of her PhD, Harshala is continuing her research activities in the Machine learning and Computer Vision domains collaborating with multiple research teams and industry partners.
