SHORT BIOGRAPHY:

Professor Liyanage C De Silva obtained BSc Eng(Hons) degree from the University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka in 1985, MPhil degree from The Open University of Sri Lanka in 1989, MEng and PhD degrees from the University of Tokyo, Japan in 1992 and 1995 respectively. He was with the University of Tokyo, Japan, from 1989 to 1995. From April 1995 to March 1997 he pursued his postdoctoral research as a researcher at ATR (Advanced Telecommunication Research) Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan. In March 1997 he joined The National University of Singapore as a Lecturer where he was an Assistant Professor till June 2003. He was with the Massey University, New Zealand from 2003 to 2007 as a Senior Lecturer. He joined University of Brunei Darussalam in 2007 as an Associate Professor and currently he is a Professor of Engineering and the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Integrated Technologies http://fit.ubd.edu.bn at the University of Brunei Darussalam. Liyanage’s current research interests are IoT (Internet of Things), Smart Grid Technologies, Smart Home Research (Smart environments for security, eldercare, healthcare, energy efficiency with smart sensors), Power System Analysis, Image and Speech Signal Processing (in particular multi modal emotion recognition and speech emotion analysis), Digital Communication (CDMA, OFDMA etc.), Information theory (source coding), Pattern recognition and understanding (biometric identification), and Multimedia signal processing. He has almost 30 years of postgraduate experience in various levels in his career in the Asia Pacific region. Liyanage has published over 160 technical papers in these areas in international conferences, journals and Japanese national conventions and holds one Japanese national patent, which was successfully sold to Sony Corporation Japan for commercial utilization. So far he has jointly filled 2 US, 2 Indian and 2 Brunei patents. Liyanage’s works have been cited as one of the pioneering work in the bimodal (audio and video signal based) emotion recognition by many researchers. His papers so far have been cited by more than 1740 times (according to scholar.google.com) with an h-index of 19.

Each entry is 1 to 10 scale. 1.0 is worse and 10.0 is excellent. (*) = (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i) a = The teacher has helped me understand how to apply knowledge, b = The teacher has enhanced my teaching ability, c = The teacher explains difficult concepts well, d = The teacher has increased my interest in the subject, e = The teacher is dedicated to teaching, f = The teacher is approachable for consultation, g = The teacher encourages students to be active in the learning process, h = Overall, the teacher is effective, I = Average of items 2-8.).

Due to my excellent teaching I have been awarded the following two awards while I was at NUS Singapore 1. Awarded The National University of Singapore, Department of Electrical and Computer

Engineering Teaching Commendation Award, Year 2002. (Class size varied between 20 to 400) 2. Awarded The National University of Singapore, Department of Electrical and Computer

Engineering Teaching Commendation Award, Year 2001. (Class size varied between 20 to 400)

The following evaluations were carried out while I was in Massey University New Zealand.

(**) = (a,b,c,d,e,f) a = The teacher comes to the class well prepared, b = The teacher communicates effectively

in this class, c = The teacher is approachable and helpful, d = The teacher encourages active learning, e = Overall, taking everything into account, I am satisfied with the quality of this person’s teaching. The above results were obtained using the Massey University Independent Student Evaluation procedure (known as SECAT). Each evaluation was conducted by a peer who does not share the teaching of that particular course. Each entry is 1 to 5 scale. 1.0 is worse and 5.0 is excellent. (Hard copy evidence can be provided). In addition to the above I was the main Editor of the prestigious “The Association for Engineering Education in Southeast and East Asia and the Pacific Mid-Term Conference 2004”, held in New Zealand in December 2004 which helped me to enhance my teaching quality and teaching methods further.
