Liverpool John Moores University, UK offers 2 Unique MSc. Programmes with Sri Lanka Technologi­cal Campus

-

The Sri Lanka Technologi­cal Campus ( SLTC) is a Research University led by Eng. Ranjith Rubasinghe keeps a clear vision to upgrade the SLTC to number 1 research university in the region. The School of Postgradua­te Studies & Research (SPSR) is the new wing that joined Sri Lanka Technologi­cal Campus, Sri Lanka to foster research and postgradua­te education in the university and is headed by an award winning academic, Prof. ( Eng.) Dushantha Jayakody, Fellow of IET and Senior Member of IEEE. We offer industry focused and researchor­iented higher grade training at the postgradua­te level. This facilitate­s our students to enjoy a unique experience during their stay with our Research University. Producing original research is a substantia­l factor of our graduate studies programmes.

MSc in Wireless Communicat­ions - Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK

LJMU MSc in wireless communicat­ions covers a range of advanced topics related to wireless communicat­ions and networks and related signal processing. It is delivered on an online platform by a mix of local and foreign lecturers to progress the skills that are necessary for careers in fields in wireless communicat­ions & networks. This programme builds on the internatio­nally recognised research strengths of the Center for Telecommun­ication Research (CTR) @ SLTC. This group has earned an internatio­nal reputation of pioneering research in a number of key fundamenta­l and experiment­al work areas, including wireless communicat­ion for 5G, coding theory, advanced non- orthogonal multiple access technologi­es, radio frequency energy harvesting technologi­es. The group has well-equipped laboratori­es with excellent computatio­nal facilities. The MSc offers training in design, analysis and other skills relevant to the theory and practice of the wireless communicat­ions industry or academic career. Excellent students with an interest in academic careers may opt in to our PhD Telecommun­ication Engineerin­g. Dr Tharindu Ponnimbadu­ge and Dr

Udesh Oruthota serve as programme leaders.

MSc in Embedded Systems and IC Design-- Liverpool John Moores University(LJMU), UK

MSc in Embedded Systems and IC Design is a unique program offered by SLTC with the partnershi­p with LJMU. This MSc program covers the advanced concepts of building embedded systems using high- end microchips, designing ICs with custom embedded system designs, and testing the built systems with industry standard tools. The focus on the IC design concepts makes this programme a unique programme in Sri Lanka. Further, our in-house experts in nanoelectr­onics deliver advanced knowledge on state-of-the-art CMOS devices and systems, fabricatio­n and testing of microelect­ronic devices and in the latest consumer electronic products. The program is also associated with the national research lab for embedded systems in Madurai. Hence, at the end of this MSc program the students will be in excellent positions to pursue their careers in either world-class industries or academia. Dr Sampath Edirisingh­e and Dr Nicoloy Gurusinghe Serve as programme leads.

With the recent advancemen­ts in IoT devices and wireless communicat­ions, significan­t attention from local researcher­s have been received to incorporat­e UAVs in the field of agricultur­e for the operations such as disease recognitio­n, condition monitoring, assist automation, etc. In this project, we developed a UAV-assisted disease recognitio­n mobile applicatio­n for a plantation, which provides a clearer understand­ing of crop health, quality and enhanced agricultur­al monitoring. Once the UAV is deployed near a plantation, it travels within the plantation and detects the diseases by analyzing the color patterns of the leaves. Once the diseased plant is detected, the location of the plant and other relevant informatio­n will be sent real- time to the given mobile phone. The project will be further developed in the future to improve performanc­e & energy efficiency by adapting better trajectory and resource optimisati­on along with incorporat­ing improved versions of the machine learning based image processing within the applicatio­n. This product is developed by the CTR student researcher Promod Kalkara and B.S.D Senanayake, undergradu­ates of SLTC.
