Biography

Dr. Jeevani Goonetillake servers as a senior lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC). She holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science with First Class honours (University of Colombo, Sri Lanka), MSc in Data Engineering (University of Keele, UK) and a PhD in Computing (University of Wales, UK). Dr. Jeevani has a wide range research interests centered around data management, agriculture technology, knowledge management, Ad hoc & Wireless Sensor Networks and data security. Thus, she has contributed towards several research groups and has supervised considerable number of undergraduate, masters and doctorial students in these areas. She has more than 40 international publications in International Proceedings, Journal and Book Chapters which also includes Web of Science Indexed journals.

In recent years she is extensively involved in research projects on Agriculture Technology sector with international collaboration. She has successfully performed investigator/research advisor roles in these Ag Tech projects funded by NSF and AHEAD project, World Bank. Some of her research work in Ag Tech domain includes designing holistic information flow model for agriculture, developing digitally enabled models for crop disorder management, developing and resolving usability issues in agriculture knowledgebases and the usage of precision agriculture techniques for farming. She also conducted research seminars on the Ag Tech domain at Western Sydney University, Australia and at University of Salerno, Italy.

Dr. Jeevani is currently the head of the Department of Information Systems Engineering and also the head for internal undergraduate degree programmes at UCSC. She has also served as a student counselor, the general secretary of the University of Colombo Computing Teachers Association (UCCTA), academic coordinator of the postgraduate degree programme, secretory to the Board of Internal Undergraduate Degree Programmes and the president of the staff welfare society, UCSC.
