Vijini G. Mallawaarachchi

Research Associate

Hi, I’m Vijini Mallawaarachchi—I’m a researcher, a hodophile and a blogger.
I’m a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Flinders Accelerator for Microbiome Exploration. I did my PhD at the Computational Genomics Group at the Australian National University. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. My prior experiences include working as an Intern Software Engineer at Sysco LABS (Pvt.) Ltd and a Junior Consultant at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
My current research work is focused on algorithms and computational models related to the recovery of genomes from metagenomes. Metagenomics involves the study of various genetic material obtained from the genomes found in microbial communities. A microbial community can contain a large number of organisms. My work focuses on developing methods and tools to investigate the taxonomic structure of a given metagenomic sample.
I love computer science and technology. Apart from them, I’m fond of music, arts, nature, photography and travelling. I’ve always wanted to explore and try out new things. Reading and writing have always been my top interests.
I share my research, findings and interests through my blog and on Medium. You can also find more about my work in the Research and Publications sections.
