I obtained my M.Sc. and PhD in Statistics respectively from McMaster Universit and the University of Waterloo in 1982 and 1986. My main areas of research were time series and statistical process control and was co-supervised by Prof. John MacGregor and Prof. Bovas Abraham.

Subsequently I have held lecturing and consulting positions with a number of universities in Sri Lanka before joining Curtin University as a Lecturer in 1991.
