About me

Hello! I am Danushka Liyanage, a postdoctoral research associate at the School of Computer Science in the University of Sydney, Australia. I recently completed my PhD in Information Technology at Monash University, Australia. My doctoral thesis, titled "Quantitative Decision-Making for Automated Software Testing," explores novel statistical techniques to determine the achieved and attainable progress of an automated software testing campaign, commonly known as Fuzzing.

I bring over 4 years of industry experience as a Data Scientist in sectors such as Telecommunication, Apparel, and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). As a big data and machine learning enthusiast, I am passionate about exploring and leveraging statistics, mathematics, and computer science to find solutions to real-world problems by unraveling valuable insights from data. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Statistics at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 2015. I was honored with the gold medal for achieving the top position in my class.
