Dilrukshi Gamage Ph.D.I am a senior lecturer at the University of Colombo School of Computing in Colombo, Sri Lanka and also a visiting research fellow at the Center for Protecting Women and Children at the Open University UK + incoming research fellow at the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin, Germany. I served as an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet Society at Harvard University as well. Before that I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Sasahara Lab, Department of Innovation Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) in Japan.
My research is in the field of Human-Computer Interaction and Computational Social Science. I primarily focus on socialite implications of AI - specifically "DeepFake/ AI" generated Misinformation and societal implications. My Ph.D. has been focused on large scale open online learning -MOOCs, HCI and Learning Analytics. Recent Updates2025
