Vijitha Herath works on applying machine learning and signal processing techniques to problems such as remote sensing image analysis (e.g., detecting land-cover changes and unmixing hyperspectral images), wearable sensor-based motion and health monitoring, and computational modeling of disease dynamics including COVID-19. The work spans developing new deep learning architectures (e.g., attention-based and state-space models) and building datasets and benchmarks for these tasks.
