Dinuni Fernando

I received Ph.D from the Department of Computer Science at Binghamton University. I worked at Security and Verification Research (SVR) Lab and Operating Systems and Networks Lab (OSNET), under Prof. Ping Yang and Prof. Kartik Gopalan.

I obtained my B.Sc.(Hons) in University of Colombo School of Computing of Sri Lanka with First class honors, in 2014.
